MERCURY CIRCLE (feat. members of CHILDREN OF BODOM & SWALLOW THE SUN) Share Brand New Music Video For "Black Mirrors"!
New album, "Killing Moons", to be released October 8th on Noble Demon and up for pre-order / pre-save here:
Following their critically acclaimed "The Dawn Of Vitriol" EP (2020), MERCURY CIRCLE have shared a brand new song from their upcoming and highly anticipated debut album, "Killing Moons", which is slated for release on October 8, 2021 via Noble Demon!
"Killing Moons" is a deeply powerful and majestic piece of music - truly representing a genre of its own - and one that will take the listener on an all-absorbing trip into yet unimaginable spheres.
After the previously released first single, “You Open Up The Earth”, MERCURY CIRCLE have shared a brand new video clip for the goth rock opus "Black Mirrors“ today!
More information about the release:
"John Dee (13 July 1527 – 1608 or 1609) was an Anglo-Welsh mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, teacher, occultist, and alchemist. He was the court astronomer for, and advisor to, Elizabeth I, and spent much of his time on alchemy, divination and Hermetic philosophy," band mastermind Jaani Peuhu reveals. "The lyrics for Black Mirrors are a mixture of matters of the heart and occultism. In the beginning we hear a prophecy from Nostradamus before plunging into a dark and delusional world - a place for the abandoned heart, where light is reflected from John Dee’s black mirror. Musically it’s more in vein of goth rock than doom metal. When writing the song I envisioned how Queen with a goth rock twist would sound. I’m a fan of big choruses and 80’s goth beats. Add a little bit of spiderwebs and whispers in French and you’re good to go!"
"Killing Moons" will be coming out on October 8th through Noble Demon and is now available for pre-order

LYRICS:
Black Mirrors
I am abandoned
My chest like a broken house
Forgotten rooms
A space so desolate
I am empty-handed
Parched barren soil
Pale like the moon
Did never hesitate
To stay, to wait
You haunt the empty halls,
Bedroom walls
Whispering through ceiling cracks
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux
Illuminate me
I’m done with quiet
Done with your spook
Keep me your souvenir
Another thousand years
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
I want to break free
Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
Can’t you see
Black mirrors
My mirrors
I want to break free
Vin, miel et huile bâtis sûr fourneaux
Black mirrors
My mirrors are black for you
I want to break free
I want to break free
