Swedish black metal masters Watain has dropped their new demonic single called "We Remain," featuring ex-The Devil's Blood vocalist Farida Lemouchi and ex-In Solitude guitarist Gottfrid Åhman via Nuclear Blast Records.
The collaboration was born out of a much-treasured kinship, according to Watain. They encourage everyone who is not yet familiar with their work to check out masterpieces such as "Come, Reap" and "Sister."
"I begun writing "We remain" in 2012, as a meditation on the concept of Mythopoeia; our mythical origins and how our understanding and approach to them is shaped and transformed throughout time." Vocalist Erik Danielsson said.
"The lyric is built around the five elemental wings of the Pentagram, and the mysteries embedded in that ancient symbol." He added. "It is a song about forgotten things that ought to be remembered, the search for truths that were lost, of the ever burning flame that illuminates the darkness of times immemorial, the passing of aeons and our ponderable place therein."
The video for "We Remain" can be streamed below. It was directed by Johan Bååth who has been documenting Watain's journey through the world for many years.
Watain will release their new record The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain on April 29. Pre-orders are available now.
