BRAZEN TONGUE Release New Single From Upcoming Album

BRAZEN TONGUE is thrilled to announce the release of their new single “Last Train From Myrdal”, released alongside a striking lyric video. This powerful track is the latest offering from their eagerly awaited album, Of Crackling Embers & Sorrows Drowned, which also features the exceptional talents of renowned drummer Kevin Paradis, known for his work with BENIGHTED and NE OBLIVISCARIS.

“Last Train From Myrdal” is an intensely personal song penned by Scott Skopec, the band’s lead guitarist and vocalist. Skopec describes the song as a cathartic exploration of his journey to move beyond a failed relationship. “This song is deeply personal. It’s about fixating on a past, idealized memory, and ultimately finding the strength to let go,” says Skopec. The lyrics weave a poignant narrative of love, loss, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a lonely train journey through the mountains.

Of Crackling Embers & Sorrows Drowned is due out June 7th and pays tribute to the classic metal genre, expertly weaving aggression, tranquility, and melody to complement the thoughtful songwriting. “Last Train From Myrdal” offers a compelling glimpse of what promises to be a profoundly evocative album. BRAZEN TONGUE continues to push musical boundaries, crafting songs that not only entertain but also challenge and enrich the listener’s experience.

BRAZEN TONGUE, consisting of Scott Skopec (guitars, vocals, synths), Ethan Gifford (guitars), Frank Lato (session bass), and Kevin Paradis (session drums), has been a long time in the making. Originating from a musical partnership that began in 2004, the band has overcome geographical separations and life’s unpredictable changes to forge a sound that is as unique as their story.

Of Crackling Embers and Sorrows Drowned is the culmination of years of shared musical evolution, highlighting the band’s diverse influences from classic metal, thrash, black metal, to death metal, drawing inspiration from iconic bands such as Metallica, Kreator, King Diamond, Emperor, and more. Engineered and mixed by Andy Nelson at Bricktop Studios in Chicago, IL, with additional recording by Greg Livas and mastering by Brad Boatright, the album is a testament to the band’s dedication to their craft and their ability to create compelling music across continents.

The album promises an auditory journey across its seven tracks, ranging from four to ten minutes long, each exploring themes of mortality, the acceptance of past mistakes, and the existential struggle against forces beyond our control. “The Weight Of Self” is just the beginning, with two more singles, “Walking the Parapets” and “Last Train to Myrdal,” set to precede the album’s full release.

BRAZEN TONGUE is not just releasing an album; they are sharing a piece of their soul, forged through years of collaboration, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of expressing the inexpressible through music. Of Crackling Embers and Sorrows Drowned is more than an album—it’s an invitation to explore the depths of the self amidst the cacophony of the external world.

“The Weight Of Self” is available now for streaming and download on all major platforms. Prepare to embark on a journey with BRAZEN TONGUE as they unveil the layers of human experience through the power of metal.
