Emerging from the Finnish coastal town of Kotka, melodic death metal band Marianas Rest unleash their third studio album, Fata Morgana, laying a brutal yet gloomy veil of melancholy over the world. The top-notch offering combines intense melodic death metal spiced with significant doom elements and breathes an overall lyrical theme of the dark aspects of life with every note. Founded in 2013, and after releasing their debut Horror Vacui (2016) and critically acclaimed successor Ruins (2019), the six piece with Jaakko Mäntymaa on vocals and Omnium Gatherum's Aapo Koivisto on keys, showcases a true virtuosity of heavy riffs, hypnotizing soundscapes and impetuous tempo-changes on it's new piece of art.
