Following the announcement of their debut full-length album The SerpentAitheer and Rockshots Records are thrilled to present the next step in this sonic journey: The Dance of Twins, a striking single that encapsulates the band’s fearless approach to progressive metal.

This genre-defying track is one of the most dynamic and intricate compositions on The Serpent. Indeed, it seamlessly blends black metal aggression, folk-inspired interludes, and progressive rock intricacy. The song transitions from an intense opening, marked by blistering riffs and growling vocals into unexpected acoustic passages before culminating in a soaring saxophone and guitar solo. Undoubtedly, it is a bold testament to Aitheer’s ability to traverse musical extremes… Weaving chaos and melody into a cohesive and immersive listening experience.

About the band

Aitheer, formed in 2017 due to Niko Löfman (vocals, guitars), Antton Kasslin (drums), and Roope Kytölä (bass). Indeed, it has steadily evolved from a jam and cover band into one of Finland’s most forward-thinking progressive metal acts. Their 2020 EP Sleeper laid the groundwork for their experimental style. However, The Serpent pushes their vision even further, embracing a cinematic and boundary-breaking approach that draws from metal, jazz, classical, and ambient influences.

For fans of Meshuggah, King Crimson, and Vangelis, The Dance of Twins offers a constantly shifting, emotionally charged experience. Certainly, one that challenges conventional songwriting. The track’s unpredictable structure mirrors the overarching theme of The Serpent. A journey through introspection, empowerment, and artistic freedom.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Harri Petjakko at Studio UG in Finland, The Serpent will come out on February 21st, 2025, via Rockshots Records. With The Dance of TwinsAitheer reaffirms its place among the most innovative acts in progressive metal, delivering a sound that is as uncompromising as it is immersive.
