The Finnish modern symphonic metal band Inherited Time has unveiled its second single, Mount of Empty Hopes, from an upcoming debut album slated for release this year. The track explores themes of struggle between life and death in a comatose dream. It blends aggressive riffs, extreme vocals, symphonic layers, and operatic singing to create a dark, thrilling sound.
Inherited Time, a modern symphonic metal band from Finland with a sci-fi atmosphere, reached its current lineup in 2024 following years of development. The band's music draws from traditional Finnish melodic metal, incorporating power metal elements, majestic orchestral melodies, striking guitars, and powerful vocals alongside intense growls.
The new single, Mount of Empty Hopes, narrates one person's journey on a mountain in a dream state, seeking recovery at the peak but encountering death until a guiding light emerges above the clouds, symbolizing the voice of a loved one. This release follows a previous single and comes as the debut album enters production. The band aims to establish a full musical career.
Lyrics for the track were written by Jani Härkönen and Alesia Savolainen, with composition by Ville Pölkki and Alesia Savolainen. It was recorded and mixed at Electric Fox Studios and mastered at Univaltakunta. The single is available on platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and Qobuz.
Inherited Time consists of Alesia Savolainen on vocals, Jani Härkönen on bass, Tero Rannila on drums, Olli Pölkki on keyboards, and Ville Pölkki on guitars. The band maintains an online presence via Facebook and Instagram.
