Swedish Metal Band Tungsten Unveils Their Heaviest Track Yet with 'Falling Apart' Ahead of New Album Release
Swedish metal powerhouse Tungsten has unleashed their heaviest track to date, "Falling Apart," as the second single from their highly anticipated album "The Grand Inferno," set for release on November 24, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Records. The single, released on November 3, 2024, has already garnered significant attention from fans and critics alike, showcasing the band's evolution and willingness to push their sonic boundaries.
"Falling Apart" marks a departure from Tungsten's traditional symphonic power metal sound, diving into heavier, more modern metal territory. The track features down-tuned guitars, crushing riffs, and a vocal performance that seamlessly blends clean melodies with aggressive growls. This new direction has drawn comparisons to alternative metal giants like Deftones and Sevendust, particularly in the song's intense outro section and vocal delivery.
Self-produced by the band, "Falling Apart" maintains Tungsten's signature polished sound while incorporating new elements. The song's composition reflects its lyrical themes, capturing the feeling of being at one's lowest point through its musical intensity and emotional depth. The integration of electronic elements, a Tungsten staple, adds layers of complexity to the track's already rich soundscape.
"The Grand Inferno," Tungsten's fourth studio album, promises to be their most diverse and ambitious work yet. The 11-track album, running approximately 45 minutes, showcases the band's versatility across various metal subgenres. From power metal anthems to more experimental, modern-leaning tracks like "Falling Apart," the album represents a significant step in Tungsten's musical journey.
To support "The Grand Inferno," Tungsten has announced a European tour starting in December 2024, with dates across Germany, Sweden, and neighboring countries. The band is also set to appear at several major metal festivals in the summer of 2025, including Wacken Open Air and Sweden Rock Festival.
With "Falling Apart" and the impending release of "The Grand Inferno," Tungsten continues to solidify their position as one of Sweden's most dynamic and evolving metal acts. The album's release on November 24, 2024, is poised to be a significant moment for both the band and the metal community at large.
