Finnish Melodic-Death/Power-Metal newcomers GLADENFOLD are going to release their new studio album, “When Gods Descend”,  on May 24th, via Reaper Entertainment.

The band has released the second single titled ‘The Forsaken’. The song can be heard and watched in the form of a lyric video here:

The video was filmed by Tomi Uusitupa and edited by Matias Knuuttila.

The band states:
”To put it simply, ”The Forsaken” is the song that defines the album. Epic choirs, grand orchestrations, acoustic passages, pounding riffs, fast solos, huge choruses etc. all things we are used to deliver. Yet this time we took it on a whole new level. It is definitely the ”magnum opus” of this album, and we can’t wait to unleash this beast on stage!”

On the upcoming album, the band explores new sonic territories with ambitious musical scale and production, while refining their core based on the distinct combination of Melodic-Death and Power-Metal. The album encompasses everything from the softest ballad, through concise and crushing pieces, to longer epics that draw you in for the long haul.

The album was recorded in many places, but mixed and mastered at Noise For Fiction Studios in Lieto (Finland) by producer Joona Lukala. The stunning cover artwork was created by Anders Öström (BLIND STARE).
