SHIELD OF WINGS Release Music Video For "Wetland"
January 8, 2022, 2 years ago
Midwest American symphonic metal band Shield Of Wings emerge from their hiatus, and make their thrilling entry into the new year with their debut single, "Wetland". The song is coupled with a captivating music video. "Wetland" is the first offering from their forthcoming debut full-length album, Unfinished, set to release February 11th. Sure to appeal to fans of symphonic metal giants Nightwish and Epica, Unfinished will bring into view ten bombastic compositions of poetic exploration.
Vocalist Lara Mordian comments on the "Wetland" filming process: ‘’Shooting 'Wetland', and wading through that cold, wet, filth, was a challenging albeit invigorating time for me. Prior to filming in late autumn, I was warned of the certain discomfort to come, but I was reassured by James that 'pain is temporary, film is forever,' and I embraced it.”
Each song from Unfinished explores themes of growth through self-examination, regret, sacrificial death and rebirth. From the "Crushing Hail" of the suffering which is inherent in life, the listener is carried through this journey, until the final track expounds upon the realization that we are all, in ways, "The Scarred Clay Reshaping". With bold, vast orchestral compositions soaring over chugging guitars, Shield Of Wings makes it abundantly clear that they are Unfinished, in more ways than one. Pre-order Unfinished now at this location.
