Cemetery Skyline is a brand new band made of Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect) on vocals, guitarist Markus Vanhala (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum), keyboardist Santeri Kallio (Amorphis), bassist Victor Brandt (Dimmu Borgir, Witchery) and drummer Vesa Ranta (Sentenced, The Abbey).

The band debuted a couple of weeks ago with their first song Violent Storm which can be heard below:

The video is telling the story of how this weird gang of friends is literally coming together“, says guitarist Markus. Keyboardist Santeri adds: “We take a walk through an old cemetery and actually meet as a band for the very first time“.

This song is highly inspired by the late nightly empty roads of GOTHenburg and their desperate stories of loneliness and getting lost to the unique beautiful misery and sorrow of Nordic gothic. It’s about a built-up frustration and how it can get out of hand, the feeling of helplessness and how it can take over. It’s a simple, rocky song that represents the band perfectly. Have you checked it out yet?” said Cemetery Skyline about Violent Storm.

Cemetery Skyline will make their live debut in July 2024 at the John Smith Rock Festival held in Laukaa (Finland) on July 18 and 20.
