Lunatic Soul - The Passage (from Through Shaded Woods)

Lunatic Soul premiere first single and video for 'The Passage' from the new album 'Through Shaded Woods' out now.
Order/ save: lunaticsoul.ln...
Following the announcement that will release their new and seventh album Through Shaded Woods, through Kscope on 13th November; the band have premiered “The Passage”, the first single and video to be taken from the forthcoming album.
Of the new track Mariusz Duda comments "’The Passage’ is a signature piece of the new Lunatic Soul album, on which we enter a mysterious forest full of dynamic, ritual dances. The title "passage" is the destination for the main character, where he is to be cleansed and reborn. "Shaded Woods" are our worst traumas and nightmares, the most difficult moments in our life. Going through them symbolises facing and overcoming them. "Through Shaded Woods" is about reaching a better place in life, about giving yourself another chance.
"Shaded Woods" is also symbolic of our present, difficult times. Let us hope that at the end of this dangerous path we are on, we will have become richer in new experiences, wiser and much stronger, which is my wish for everyone. May this song, as well as the whole album, be like a torch, which not only makes the darkness disappear, but might come in handy when fighting monsters.”

This whole album helped me out of a dark time a few years ago! I wish I could share this entire piece of art with every human being on the planet, there is a magic and vibration to these songs, you can tell it was channeled out of pure passion and love. Thank you for helping me heal with your music Lunatic Soul, and helping me find The Passage, back to the Light❤️

Anything the man touches turns to gold. What a legend !

[@abhishekchaubey903]

Apparently filling the void that Steven wilson has created by not writing like used to.

[@marc-andremorency9903]

@@abhishekchaubey903 That's pretty insulting to Duda...saying that the guy fills a void created by another. Nop, the guy just does his thing and it happens to be great, that's it. This "who's the best" thing is just completly annoying. Let both of them write their goddamn music, the way they want. They don't owe anything to anybody and they surely don't think of what the other writes to write their own stuff.

[@abhishekchaubey903]

@@marc-andremorency9903 Filling the void and having his own identity aren't mutually exclusive. I love everything MD has ever done and have to say, Riverside are one ot their kind, literally. What i meant by filling the void is when i miss the good old PTree, a new song from these guys gives me chills. there are only a handful musicians who can write as good as porcupine tree. MD is one of them

Hahahaa, YESSSSS ❤️😁❤️😅❤️

[@theAngusmaster101]

Was legit thinking the same thing haha

[@marcinwilkowski8880]

I hope that the new Riverside album will be heavier than their last records, especially LFTM. No semi-acoustic radio songs please! ;)

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

Well, Love Fear and the Time Machine album wasn't heavy also, it doesn't mean I liked the last album but what the hell

[@Torthane]

It would be amazing to see a return to the style of say Second Life Syndrome or ADHD especially with more of a metal edge! But part of what is great with Riverside is not matter what they do, they will do it in a classy and fresh way!

[@MrZarath]

I'm so lucky, that i live in the same time with Mariusz Duda.

Lol I feel the same. Used to say I was born in the wrong age. The more I grow up the more I can see that this was a false assumption.

The middle portion to the end of this song reminds me a lot of Indukti. I wish that band was back together. Mariusz did a great job on vocals on S.U.S.A.R. and Idmen blew me away.

Morning frost...

[@Razielo53]

Best way to end my week. After receiving news that my Grandmother just tested positive for COVID on top of my wife entering the final days of the pregnancy, I needed an outlet...some resonating force...I needed to have something to make sense of both a catastrophe and a blessing occuring around the same time. Lo and behold, it was Duda's medicine. It doesn't change things with my Grandmother, but this song is the jam I need to get in my thoughts to try and make sense of the absurdity of life right now.

[@wanderingflyfisherman6825]
