American Heavy Metal icons CIRITH UNGOL today unveil their latest single “Looking Glass” with an accompanying lyric video.
The monolithic new track comes by way of the band’s impending sixth full-length, “Dark Parade”, set for release on October 20th via Metal Blade Records.
“Looking Glass” marks the beginning of a conceptual four-song sequence that introduces listeners to “The Dark Parade”, a visceral and poignant multi-song presentation that leaves little room for happy endings. “Is it a nightmare tale of self-reflection or just another journey through the cracks in our reality and the curse of broken dreams?” asks vocalist Tim Baker, shedding a little light on the “darkness” within. “It’s not quite what Lewis Carroll [author of Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, Through The Looking-Glass etc.] had in mind, but an even more bleak and deadly vision. Alice found that her visions were the complete opposite of her dreams, but here they are one and the same. Will waking dispel the nightmares, or are our waking hours just the extension of them? Once we smash the mirror, there is no turning back.”
