Hungarian doll/melodic metal band, Ann My Guard, have released a brand new cover song. "Promise" is a tribute to the Silent Hill video game series composer and musician, Akira Yamaoka.
Frontwoman Eszter Anna Baumann states: ”The atmosphere of the entire game, the meaning behind the story and the sounds that Mr Yamaoka presents in the game have been deeply inspiring me since I first played Silent Hill. I think both the game and Ann My Guard have many things in common, for example, I think about our music as an escape from reality to somewhere else, maybe to a higher state of mind, where you can see your soul as a revealing mirror. I just simply cannot describe how Silent Hill has been so effective to me. I've always thought if Ann My Guard is ever gonna make a cover song, that will be for a special one. I can proudly say that we could totally reach our goal, because we didn't only record the melody of "Promise (reprise)" but also added our own musical taste to it, with some extra parts and the lyrics.”
Besides releasing this new single, the band is keenly preparing for their first European tour, which is starting in October.
