New Jersey symphonic metal outfit Everdawn have signed to Frontiers and will release a new album entitled Venera on December 8. A first single and lyric video from it for the song Cassiopeia are available from today.
“It’s fascinating to think about the fine line between confidence and arrogance and who it is that gets to decide when we veer too far towards the latter,” states the band. “How much of ourselves are we allowed to put on a pedestal? Most of us try to find a balance between self-respect and pride, and this song is all about using the myth of Queen Cassiopeia as an allegory for exploring the relationship between the two. How far do we go when it comes to the belief in our own power before the world tries to take it away, and how far before we lose everything and everyone dear to us for the sake of our pride? Like Queen Cassiopeia, we must learn from her and reflect upon whether we are willing to reap the consequences of our hubris – and also watch as others suffer by the same hand.”
