The Italian melancholic doom death metal quintet TETHRA has released a new video for the song “Days of Cold Sleep”. The track is taken from the band’s new album “Withered Heart Standing”, out on December 6th via Meuse Music Records. Composed of 8 songs for over 48 minutes of duration, “Withered Heart Standing” will easily enter the hearts of those loving Katatonia, Paradise Lost, and Swallow the Sun.

Accompanied by the beautiful voice of Elisabetta Marchetti (ex Inno, Beth & The Hangman) and, once again, by the evocative cello of Adriano Ancarani, the second single “Days of Cold Sleep” is a very different song from the first single “Liminal”, where the sound becomes darker while the lyrics dig even deeper touching on a topic and a situation that we have all experienced in recent years.

“There are days when we are gripped by an uncontrollable feeling of cold right down to our bones even if outside the weather is warm. Days when you lock yourself at home, lying in bed, waiting for the storm that each of us carries inside us to calm down. Because no one has come out unscathed from these years, years that left us irremediably more fragile and without certainties. The video for "Days of Cold Sleep" wants to celebrate the part of us that will never come back but, above all, the battle against that creeping disease that transformed us into the people we have become to overcome this void that has changed us forever. Like a withered heart standing.”

On “Withered Heart Standing” the lyrics are more intimate than ever, touching on very personal topics such as loss, the need for solitude and feelings of rejection, while the music has changed skin once again, becoming warmer and deeper to better tell the emotions that permeate these eight songs. Like a sonic needle that stitches the wounds of a bleeding heart.
