There’s a fire that doesn’t burn but reveals, and that’s exactly what Know Thyself brings with their latest single « Eternal Glow ». The Swedish metal band delivers a track that sounds like a farewell whispered from the edge of the world, with guitars that rumble like distant thunder and a voice that trembles on the verge of collapse. Shot by Samuel Kolsmyr, the music video sets the scene in the woods and by the stillness of a lake, earth and water as silent witnesses to something deeper, something unsaid. The words hit like a confession: « I need to know it for myself, was there a meaning of this ». It’s not just about death, it’s about the echo it leaves in those who remain. And here at Slash Music, we know when something dark still manages to glow.
« I need to know it for myself, was there a meaning of this » – Know Thyself
Metal with a pulse and a purpose
Hailing from the stillness of Sweden, Know Thyself is far from silent. With Rikard and Simon Holmberg weaving heavy guitar layers, Oskar Pettersson pounding out existential dread on the drums, John Petri Ingmarsson doing the job on bass and Erika Heineman delivering vocals that slice through the noise like truth through denial, this band is here to mean something. Their music doesn’t shout to be heard, it resonates because it asks the questions we’re too scared to voice. With past shows that left northern Europe breathless and whispers of a full project on the horizon, they’re more than just a metal act, they’re a movement in the making. 2025 has barely begun, but trust us: keep both ears locked on Know Thyself.
