Pridian - Musikvideo zu “Convoy”
Nachdem Pridian in der Metalcore-Szene für Aufsehen gesorgt haben, veröffentlichen sie nun ihr Debütalbum „Venetian Dark“.
Das über Century Media Records veröffentlichte Album ist das erste Full-Length-Album der Band nach ihrer „Cybergnosis“-EP, die bereits 2023 veröffentlicht wurde. Bouncy, groovy und strukturiert, der Sound des Albums entwickelt sich über die zwölf Tracks hinweg, während die Texte oft eine nihilistische Sichtweise bieten und sich mit schweren Themen wie dem Kampf mit der mentalen Gesundheit, Trauma und persönlichem Wachstum beschäftigen. Ihre Vorliebe für düstere Klanglandschaften ist im Gesamtsound von „Venetian Dark“ deutlich zu hören. Es ist ein vielseitiges und faszinierendes Debütalbum, das viele der weitreichenden Einflüsse der Band und ihre einzigartigen technischen Fähigkeiten hervorhebt.
Zusammen mit ihrem neuesten Musikvideo zum Track „Convoy“ zeigen Pridian mit „Venetian Dark“, warum sie es wert sind, beachtet zu werden, und setzen ein Paradebeispiel für Estlands unterschätzte Metalszene.

Vocalist Laur shares about the inspiration behind "Venetian Dark”:
“Looking at it on a larger scale, I believe that humanity has lost its connection with nature, the planet, and even itself. We relentlessly exploit every last resource, driven by profit and greed. Our ideologies have grown superficial, and we are becoming less and less empathetic. Even if we end up destroying the Earth, we seem to have this cockroach-like ability to survive. We'll likely figure out how to launch ourselves into space, discover another planet to inhabit, and start the cycle all over again. “
He shares as the inspiration for “Convoy”:
“Everything felt like it was closing in. I’ve been running for so long, but now it feels like the weight of my choices is catching up to me—the things I gave away, the time I lost, chasing something that always stayed just out of reach.
I keep wondering if any of it was worth it. The plans I made, the life I wanted—was I building something better, or just digging my own grave?
The war outside mirrors the war within, and neither offers a way out."

About Pridian
Founded 2018 in Tartu, Estonia, metalcore quartet Pridian channels the intensity of their experiences and emotions into a distinctive sound defined by dark, heavy grooves, commanding vocals, and cinematic melodies enhanced with electronic elements. Their first album, “The Rotten Unknown” (released in 2021 under the name ÆØNS), earned a nomination for “Metal Album of the Year” at the Estonian Music Awards. Building on this success, Pridian released the EP “Cybergnosis” in 2023, and signed with label Century Media Records in September 2024.
Their performance at Euroblast Festival 2024 got them enough momentum to build an international fanbase. In fact, Pridian couldn’t have asked for a better occasion, playing their German debut, than on an internationally visited progressive metal-centered festival known for being a breakthrough platform of bands like Sleep Token, Unprocessed, Jinjer, and many more. The band also managed to secure themselves a spot for the famous Mystic Festival in Poland for their 2025 edition through a jury-led band battle in Estonia.
Now, with the release of “Venetian Dark” as their first full length record as Pridian, the quartet proves their place in the international metalcore scene while also showing what Estonia’s growing metal scene truly has to offer.
