Behind The Tracks: Abstracted Mind - Despair (Single) (2024)

The symphonic metal band Abstracted Mind is excited to announce their brand new single DESPAIR next Tuesday, November 26th, along with an official lyric video.

 

After the release of their last single ETERNALS, which put the band back on the map, Abstracted Mind presents their new song DESPAIR. While ETERNALS served as a wake-up call to make us more conscious of our own lives and choices, DESPAIR introduces a new paradigm around our moral responsibilities toward one another, challenging the boundaries between compassion and selfishness.

Deep into powerful riffs and intense orchestra arrangements, the contrast between rough growls and soft, melodic vocals delivers a potent message: while the world may be overcast in fear and suffering, we each still have a choice. Do we truly have the right to decide who deserves compassion? Or are we simply turning away, justifying actions that, deep down, we know are wrong? In this song every line encourages the listener to look inward, to "extend a hand", and perhaps even change—before it’s too late.

 

DESPAIR isn’t just a song; it’s an urgent call to action, exhorting the listeners to confront uncomfortable truths and recognize their role in shaping a more compassionate world. Join Abstracted Mind for the release of DESPAIR next Tuesday, November 26th, on all digital platforms, with the premiere of the official music video at 20:00 CEST that same day.
