With just over a month to go before Israeli gothic doom metal band TOMORROW’S RAIN releases their highly anticipated sophomore album, Ovdan, the band has revealed their latest single “Roads,” which features Heljarmadr of Dark Funeral and Tony Wakefored of Sol Invictus.
Commenting on the track, vocalist Yishai Sweartz says:
“I think ‘Roads’ is the song i would play to someone who wants to know what we are all about, it contains various elements from different musical worlds and the blend brings something unique to the table. It’s who we are in 8 min if you are curious.“
The band’s sophomore album Ovdan, which is Hebrew for “Loss,” marks the return of vocalist Yishai Sweartz who suffered a near fatal heart attack and open heart surgery in early 2023. After nearly losing everything, Swartz and crew have emerged with resilient spirit and creative force on their most dynamic and ambitious record yet.
The eagerly awaited record, Ovdan, features guest collaborators from Mayhem, Sol Invictus, Dark Funeral, Mercyful Fate and Sisters of Mercy to name a few.
Sweartz recently said of the record:
“The album was written and recorded during a dark period in our lives and the creative process was in fact our cure to get back to life after several traumatic events we faced, musically we pushed the boundaries and yet kept the vision started in our debut album Hollow (2020). We hope that Ovdan will light a candle at the edge of the tunnel for you as it did to us.“
