Greek post-black collective Euphrosyne unleashes new video ‘Mother Earth Betrayed Us’

Greek post-black/atmospheric metal outfit Euphrosyne have unveiled the official video for their brand new track “Mother Earth Betrayed Us,” a new song that will be included on the band’s forthcoming album, currently in the works.

Following the strong impact of their previous album Morus, released via Swedish Black Lion Records, which received highly positive reviews from international media and was featured as “Album of the Month” in March by Metal Hammer Greece, Euphrosyne return with this striking new single, offering the first glimpse into their upcoming album.

Diving deep into themes of environmental collapse and human arrogance, the track confronts the devastating impact of mankind on the planet. The haunting phrase, “Mother Earth betrayed us by letting us exist,” echoes at the song’s conclusion, reinforcing the idea that nature has allowed humankind to walk its own path toward self-destruction, a consequence of its actions against the planet.

With this new material, Euphrosyne push their sound further into more experimental and modern territory, incorporating new elements and expanded vocal dynamics, including the addition of male vocals that bring a new dimension to their sonic identity. The single also marks the debut of Pavlos Lyritis as bassist and backing vocalist.

Mixing and mastering were handled by Psychon (Septicflesh), while the music was composed by Alex Despotidis and lyrics were written by Efi Eva. The official music video was directed by Manos G (Universe 217).
