“Unlikely Event”, the new video from Helsingborg, Sweden’s BLACK TEMPLE, can be seen below. The song is taken from the band’s debut album, “It All Ends”, which will be released on August 28 via Century Media (world excluding North America, Scandinavia) and Razzia Notes (Scandinavia). The effort will be available as limited-edition digipak, LP+CD (including bonus track “Skullfucker”) and as digital album.
BLACK TEMPLE vocalist and bassist Jonas Pedersen comments: “‘Unlikely Event’ is somewhat the epicenter of ‘It All Ends’ — being one of the songs with the most twisted, different written verses — but still with a very driven catchy chorus line. Let this song, as the first single that it is, be the guiding light as you get into our debut album. We hope you enjoy it!”
“It All Ends” is the first release Anders Fridén’s (IN FLAMES) label Razzia Notes licensed to Century Media for all territories outside of Scandinavia and North America.
“It All Ends” is an intense story with impressive dynamics. With Magnus Lindberg (CULT OF LUNA) in the producer’s seat, the band — which has been called the country’s most violent live act — explores new territory in their musical landscapes: a primitive primordial drive fights it out with immediate melodies, performed with an ever present sense that each note can be the last. The end may be near, but “It All Ends” is just the beginning.
Anders Fridén comments: “First time I heard BLACK TEMPLE, I freaked and I said to myself, ‘I gotta work with these guys somehow.’ The whole expression of their music is a perfect introduction to Razzia Notes and our new collaboration with Century Media.
“Do yourself a favor and get a copy of ‘It All Ends’. It’s a monster of an album.”
Pedersen adds: “To become labelmates with three of my favorite bands at the same time is a bit like a wet dream… I mean, c’mon — DARK FUNERAL, MARDUK and WATAIN… And this is just the top layer, in my opinion, of what this behemoth of a label has released through the years. Simply — such a great honor!”
BLACK TEMPLE will support IN FLAMES on their European tour this fall.
