Siberian atmospheric black metal act Grima have released a video for their latest single, “Flight of the Silver Storm.” The track is taken from their upcoming album, Nightside, set for release on February 28 via Napalm Records. Nightside marks Grima’s sixth studio album and their first with Napalm Records.
The band discusses their new single:
“Flight of the Silver Storm is a sorrowful legend meant to warn those who have lost their fear of nature’s dangers, believing they have unraveled all its mysteries and conquered it to a degree where it does not present danger any longer. The song tells the story of a traveler who boldly sets out to cross an unfamiliar forest under the cover of night, confident that the starry sky will guide his way. Yet, as soon as he descends into the depths of the woods, he falls prey to an unstoppable storm. The silver folds of its flowing gown obscure the map of the night sky from the arrogant fool who only moments before was certain he held his fate in his hands.”
On the album, the group comments:
“GRIMA is a secretive cult devoted to an ancient, long-forgotten Siberian forest deity, lying in wait, shrouded within the endless embrace of the Taiga. Our music is a ritual of reverence to the ancient magic of the forest, an endless dance of mysterious entities and ancient spirits, a beautiful and terrifying legend cloaked in the form of Siberian Atmospheric Black Metal. Nightside is a mysterious and melodic recording, infused with the mesmerizing cold of the Siberian night wilderness—brutal, yet equally beautiful and irresistibly alluring. A mysterious nocturnal land where winds slam the shutters of cabins in abandoned villages, guiding stars only lead you deeper into the silver storm, and a dead man is knocking his claw on an ancient pine, counting down the remaining time of yet another lost.”
