The Finnish dark metal band Horizon of Aeons are set to release their debut album,
Timeless Forms of Desolation, on 29 May 2026 via Inverse Records. The single ‘Kairos’, is unleashed today and it’s available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/horizon-of-aeons-kairos
The band comments:
“The lyrics deal with the concept of deep time. The vastness of the universe challenges human perspective. Our collective cosmic history shapes the eternal harmony of our souls. We are part of the ever-flowing stream of humanity’s consciousness. Musically, this song is more up-tempo and contains unique elements compared to other Horizon of Aeons songs. It is a perfect opening track as it gives the album a good kickstart with the blasting double bass on the drums. The outro is a piece of text spoken by our technician and co-producer Kristian Kipinoinen. This text is handled more closely in the song “1846 (The Ones Beneath)”.”
