PRESS RELEASE:

MEZMERIZER Goes Full Prog in Lyric Video About the War Between the Woke and the Unawakened

Single: Whispers of Leviathan

Release Date: March 10, 2025

Location: Odense, Denmark

FFO: Nevermore, Devin Townsend, Artillery

Danish experimental metal band Mezmerizer is taking the global metal scene by storm with their latest release, Whispers of Leviathan , accompanied by a brand new lyric video that dives deep into the socio-political tensions of today. The band’s diverse fusion of prog metal, death metal, black metal, groove metal, and djent is now on full display, pushing boundaries both musically and lyrically.

Since their formation, Mezmerizer has captivated listeners worldwide, with over 4,000 Spotify streams before even completing their first interview. Much of this early attention is attributed to the band's frontman Michael Bastholm Dahl, known for his extensive touring experience with Danish thrash legends Artillery across Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas. However, the diverse backgrounds of the other members, including prog metal and death metal influences, have enabled the band to create a unique and genre-defying sound.

Released in late 2024, their debut album Whispers of Leviathan surprised both the band and their record label, Downfall Records, when fans gravitated towards the longer, more intricate tracks, such as the prog-metal-inspired "No Gain" and the virtuosic "Harbinger of Apeiron." Building on this momentum, Mezmerizer is now unveiling the lyric video for the title track, Whispers of Leviathan , a dark and twisted anthem that reflects the ongoing struggles within society.

Band composer Flemming Goldberg-Larsen explains: "Michael puts a lot of effort into the lyrics, and I hope metal journalists will ask him about them. He's a philosophy buff, and you’ll find references to Orwell’s 1984 and ancient philosophers throughout. While not a concept album, the lyrics speak to power struggles throughout history and the tensions of today’s society. We had many discussions about the events that have recently unfolded in our world—the assault on Capitol Hill, the Russia-Ukraine war, the Yellow Vests movement, and the growing divide between the 'woke' and 'unawakened' populations. This lyric video embodies those struggles.”

The lyric video for Whispers of Leviathan offers fans a visual journey through the band’s powerful commentary on the current state of the world, capturing the essence of a battle between societal factions. The video pairs perfectly with the song’s complex and aggressive composition, showcasing the band's musical versatility and philosophical depth.

Fans can look forward to a thought-provoking experience with this release as Mezmerizer pushes the envelope of modern metal and challenges listeners to engage with the realities of the world around them.

With Rotting Society, Death in Fiction unleashes a relentless debut that pushes Melodic Death Metal to a whole new level of intensity.

The five-piece band fuses haunting melodies with crushing heaviness and a powerful message.

The album is a harsh reckoning with the self-destructive nature of modern society. Frontman Tobias Baab screams through the depths of human decay with a voice that cuts straight to the core. Robin Hartmann’s lead guitar work slices through the darkness with technical precision and emotional weight. Gunther Schulz lays down a rock-solid rhythm guitar that holds the chaos together. Drummer Leon Kettemann delivers blast beats and crushing grooves with machine- like precision. Fabian Spitzer’s thunderous bass playing adds weight that hits like a punch to the gut.

Rotting Society is not background noise – it’s a wake-up call wrapped in pure aggression. Death in Fiction marks their arrival with a debut that screams, rages, and refuses to be ignored.

Death in Fiction is a melodic death metal band from Germany that was founded in 2020. In rebellion against the way the world is evolving, they create a fictional world to provide the listener with refuge. Topics such as social problems, illnesses, hatred and the fight against oneself are packaged into a dark story and brought into this world accompanied by fat riffs, hammering blast beats and also melodic parts. The musical preferences of the individual members are also reflected in the songs to provide variety and atmosphere. The combination of aggressiveness, speed and melody creates a rollercoaster of emotions. It's time to look within yourself and question what's going on here. Take a journey into the unknown with Death in Fiction.
