It is based on some dramatic experiences I had in recent times that ended with incarceration. It spells out its darkness in all its loveless splendour.”<\/p>\n Markus Vanhala<\/strong> further elaborates:\u00a0“‘The Coldest Heart’ is one of the very first songs written for\u00a0Cemetery Skyline<\/strong>\u00a0and it is an obvious tribute to ‘The Green Man’, but in a very gentleman way. It is a heavy hitter for a gloomy summer hit in 2024.”<\/p>\n “Cemetery Skyline<\/strong>. A band crawling out from the Scandinavian nightless nights. Formed somewhere in time in 2020, from the idea to create ageless dark music with respect to our generation\u2019s biggest influencers,” previously stated the band.<\/p>\n “This Nordic collaboration was born with the plan to create something that has not been out there before, something different from all the music the band members have ever done. A unique combination of heavy riffs and emotions packed in a dark and deep creative context. You may call it gothic rock, dark rock, or even heavy metal. We just call it Nordic Gothic.”<\/p>\n Cemetery Skyline\u00a0<\/strong>will debut live at the John Smith Rock Festival in Laukaa, Finland August 18-20, 2024<\/p>\n \n
