Greek Black Metallers EUPHROSYNE To Unleash New Album In March 2025; "Mitera" Official Video Available

Greek black metallers Euphrosyne Will release Morus, their follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut EP, Keres, on March 21st, 2025 via Black Lion Records.

Setting a stride in the artistically unbalanced year 2021 has been, Efi Eva (vocals) and Alex Despotidis (guitar) united forces under the banner of Euphrosyne. Based in Athens, Greece they shared a common vision for creating dark and adventurously melodic music, constantly breaking the barriers of what post-black metal presumably is.

Morus is an experiential concept album inspired by the true story of the loss of Alex Despotidis's Mother from cancer in 2017. The narration begins with the realization of death and the feelings surrounding it until the final embrace, continues with the existential question "What happens after all comes to pass" and the depiction of pain and suffering. It moves forward towards the acceptance of the image of the person who is losing the battle and the last journey forward to the Asphodel Meadows, the section of the ancient Greek underworld where the majority of souls were sent to live after death.

Tracklist:

"Morus"
"July 21st"
"Valley Of White"
"Eulogy"
"Funeral Rites"
"Mitera"
"Asphodel"
"Lilac Ward"

"Mitera" is an experiential song that deals with the first experience with the death of a very important person such as a parent. For the first time, the band uses the Greek language, with a very poetic speech, and the question of "what happens after all this" playing a vital role emphasizing the experience of the existential crisis. There are no clean vocals in the track making the feelings of loss and pain even more intense.This song comes as a foreshadowing of what the new album will be all about.
