Austrian symphonic metal band Edenbridge has unveiled their new digital single 'Set The Dark On Fire,' accompanied by an official lyric video. The track serves as the title song for their upcoming album, set for release on January 16 via Steamhammer records. The band explores themes of transformation and inner peace amid darker elements.
Single and Video Release
Edenbridge, the Austrian symphonic metal outfit, launched their latest digital single 'Set The Dark On Fire' along with a lyric video. This release marks a high-energy addition to their catalog, described as one of their fastest songs to date. The track emphasizes confidence while addressing dark themes, blending earthier emotions and aggression without veering into destructiveness.
Vocalist Sabine Edelsbacher shared insights on the song's inspiration: “As a bridge-building force in the musical universe, we stand for transformation rather than escalation. We see ourselves as observers of external events and dedicate ourselves to the underlying issues — inner development and our own effectiveness.” She further elaborated, “When chaos reigns outside, don’t get entangled, but go to the zero point, the center. The fiery power of the sun immediately rises within you as insight and inspiration. Connected to your inner sun, you rise like a phoenix from the ashes.”
The album weaves the transformative power of fire throughout its narrative, evoking sparks in intense moments and promoting inner peace in quieter sections.
