Israeli-based Gothic doom metal band INNER MISSING are back with a new single release: “Hiraeth.” It’s been 1½ years since their latest full-length album, “Dead Language,” was released. The album was released at the worst possible time, just one day after Russia invaded the Ukraine. The band, located then in St. Petersburg, strictly condemned the invasion and instantly decided to flee the country and their dictatorship.

Sigmund comments: “Hiraeth is an untranslatable Welsh word that is used to describe a very personal and specific mixture of homesickness, nostalgia, and wistfulness. Like any other complex emotion, it is ineffable, but those who have already experienced it, will easily catch its glimpse in the eyes of the others because it is universal as well. For more than a year it seemed unthinkable for me to create anything, and then this song was composed, written, and recorded in a matter of days – and, paradoxically, it does not only depict the irreversible loss of my home and many things that were dear to me, but also confirms [the] verity of the statement: no matter how rotten and dominated by philistine cowardice and dictatorial madness the world is, art, like a sprout, will eventually make its way through the layers of mud, into the light.”
