Dark Driven release new track ‘Through Waves of Sand’
19th March 2025 0 By Jon DeauxSweden’s Dark Driven have just unveiled the mesmerizing video for ‘Through Waves of Sand’, the latest glimpse into their highly anticipated debut full-length From the Unbeliever, dropping Friday 21st March via Hammerheart Records.
Directed by the visionary Claudio Marino (Watain, Gaerea, Katatonia) and produced by Artax Film, the video is a stark, dreamlike descent; hypnotic, harrowing, and impossible to look away from.
Frontman Filip comments on the track and video: “The theme of the song revolves around a love story that takes a dark turn. Add a touch of witchcraft, and the scene is set. I have known Claudio since my time as the vocalist for Corporation 187, when he played in a band called Roswell here in Linköping. Our bands shared the stage on several occasions, giving me the opportunity to witness his creative talent firsthand. Over the years, I have followed his work closely, and when I approached him to create the video for this song, he exceeded all our expectations. His dedication and expertise truly stand out, and we couldn’t be happier with what he has delivered.”Order From The Unbeliever here: https://darkdriven.lnk.to/fromtheunbeliever
Dark Driven’s debut doesn’t merely flirt with darkness; it inhabits it. There’s a rawness here that feels simultaneously classic and refreshingly new, blending gothic melancholy with a relentless drive. You can expect music that is as uncompromising as it is evocative, bleak yet beautiful, with a depth that demands multiple listens to fully unravel. This isn’t just an album; it’s a journey into the abyss, with Dark Driven as the dark architects leading the way.
From the Unbeliever isn’t here to bow to trends or polish up for radio play; this is metal for those who prefer their music with shadows intact.
