The Finns Barren Earth have shared the second track off their impending new opus On Lonely Towers. After showcasing the long title track, now they have launched a lyric video for their brand new song "A Shapeless Derelict". You can enjoy the 7-minute track from the progressive death metallers right here now and share your impressions.

On Lonely Towers hits stores on March 30th, 2015 in Europe and March 24th in North America through Century Media.




Bassist Olli-Pekka Laine comments on the music: "Varying from 90's death and doom metal to 70's avant-garde prog rock, 'A Shapeless Derelict' represents Barren Earth's roots in their purest form. Let the track's original title, Kingtopsy, a hybrid between King Crimson and Autopsy, do the talking. Having these ingredients blended and represented in modern, but still traditional standards, 'A Shapeless Derelict' simply stands up to its name: Abandoned and deserted at sea - moaning alone, oddly, yet proudly!"

Singer Jón Aldará describes the story behind the lyrics: "A forsaken girl wanders through both physical and mental landscapes without direction as hallucinations and desperation tear at her mind. This is a metaphor-heavy song about overcoming the fear of being nothing in a world without true meaning and gaining courage to live nonetheless."
