Finnish gothic metal band Hanging Garden have released an official lyric video for the track \u2018The Construct\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Hanging Garden issued eighth full-length studio album The Garden<\/em> on March 24th, 2022 through Agonia Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cExploring the rituals, belief systems, connection to nature, finding purpose in just being and surviving were the cornerstones of how The Garden<\/em> came to be,\u201d frontman Toni Hatakka commented. \u201cAnother strong theme is that of dreams; since childhood, I\u2019ve had this recurring dream world with a silent feel of stagnation, colossal constructs of rust, the action of journeying to the unknown, and lush nature. This is where I also draw a lot of what ended up on the album. The lyrics written by Riikka also amalgamated into this aesthetic perfectly. Even the name was given to me in a dream. Back in spring, I had a dream where our keyboardist Nino and I had a talk about this being our magnum opus and that we should call it The Garden<\/em>. Such a powerful notion could not be left unheeded, and so the album had its name. The Garden<\/em> is at the same time familiar and atypical for us. There is a kind of energy in the songs that there wasn\u2019t before, a feel of hope to contrast our old friend the despair, a strong notion of action against the familiar melancholy, or maybe a light amidst the comfortable gloom. But in the end, this is us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album can be streamed in its entirety below.<\/p>\n

The Garden<\/em> was produced by vocalist \/ guitarist Jussi H\u00e4m\u00e4l\u00e4inen and Jarno H\u00e4nninen. H\u00e4nninen mixed and mastered the album at D-studio.<\/p>\n

The Garden<\/em> marks the return of drummer Antti Ruokola.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was designed by Kalle Pyyhtinen. <\/p>\n
