Cemetery Skyline has released a video for “Torn Away”, produced by Sam Jamsen, which gives fans a sneak peek of three days of rehearsals, behind-the-scenes, and impressions from their recent Finland show at the John Smith Festival. The show marked the first time all of the band members have been on stage together. The song is taken from their upcoming album, Nordic Gothic, which arrives on October 11th, 2024 in multiple formats, including several vinyl variants.

Michael Stanne (vocals) says about the song’s lyrics and the show:

This is a song about willful disconnection from everything and everyone and its eventual ramifications. Written very early in the band’s lifecycle, this song set much of the tone of what the album would become.

It was supercool. This festival forced us into this. They said: ‘We want you!’ and we said: ‘Okay!’. For me, the highlight was that I could be on stage with Markus, Santeri, Victor and Vesa. We have known each other for 20+ years, but none of us have ever been on stage together. I guested with Insomnium twice, that’s it. Other than that, we have never shared the stage, which is pretty crazy in my book. Just seeing Vesa Ranta playing drums warmed my heart and made me so happy. Markus is the f*cking best, Victor is a long-time friend of mine and one of my neighbors back home and Santeri going nuts – that meant a lot to me and made this experience so much fun. We were all there, everybody was equally excited and then we could relax and celebrate accordingly after the show, which was fantastic.
