HANGING GARDEN: 3rd full-length "At Every Door" will sweet dark winter days in early 2013

HANGING GARDEN aren’t new to the Scandinavian atmospheric and heavy music scene. Being around since 2004 and having released two albums for Spikefarm Records – Inherit The Eden (2004) and Teotwawki (2009) – the Finnish group already introduced their view on depressive and emotional disturbing music that is based on the dualism of beauty and harshness. With At Every Door the sextet discovers an even more accentuated and distinctive mix of different genres including doom influences, melodic death, post metal and post rock as well as acoustic and folk quotations.

The third album marks a new start for HANGING GARDEN, because At Every Door is the first output with new singer Toni Toivonen, drummer Antti Ruokola and Jussi Kirves on bass guitar. And of course it is bands first record for LIFEFORCE RECORDS. The Finns do not follow trends and defy conventions. At Every Door is an apocalyptic view on the world dominated by humans and a balefully future. Even without noticeable velocity HANGING GARDEN create lasting impressive contrasts that affect their listeners in the innermost. There are hints of optimism, but overall listeners will undergo depressive and less confident music in between Cult of Luna and Sigur Ros.

"Dark, melancholic and spiced up with some well-dosed heaviness At Every Door is the perfect soundtrack for dark winter days!"

January 25th, 2013 (Finnland + digital)

HANGING GARDEN about At Every Door:

"The silence is over. Hanging Garden are back with their 3rd studio album “At Every Door”, which is the band’s most ambitious work so far. Musically the album has much more variety than the previous two, combining influences from Cult of Luna all the way to Sigur Ros.
When it comes to lyrical themes, Hanging Garden has always been about dystopic visions of the ouroborean fate that quite likely awaits man. Before, Matti Reinola was mostly responsible for the lyrics, but on this album they were mostly done by Toni."

Toni:

"Continuing the lyrical themes that have been prevalent on the first two albums came quite naturally for me. This album concentrates on different stories, protagonists and viewpoints of what might come after, should our future take a turn for the worse and end in cataclysmic consequences that spring from our actions."

At Every Door is set to be released on January 28th in Europe and February 5th in North America.
