Norwegian avant-garde metal masters In The Woods… have unveiled a video for their latest single, “The Things You Shouldn’t Know.” The track is taken from their upcoming album, Otra, set for release on April 11, 2025, via Prophecy Productions. Otra, the band’s seventh studio album, explores melodic yet progressive compositions while lyrically centering around the Otra River, which flows through southern Norway.
The band comments:
“This single is an 8 minute power display as we take a dive back in time to bring back certain elements of ‘what used to be’; and it also demonstrates how we take our roots seriously”, guitarist and keyboard player Kåre André Sletteberg explains. “This track is a hard hitting melodic piece of art with smooth and beautiful vocal melodies blended with black metal elements on guitars. It’s stretching from the darkest corners of the forest into the melodic meadows of our dreams and nightmares. When this piece was completed, we knew that due to the many elements, dynamics, and feelings worked into the song, it was a more than worthy opener for the album. Doom!”
