Together, they channeled inspiration for composition after composition to collaborate with a geographically, culturally, and stylistically diverse collection of celebrated vocalists and musicians from around the world. “Egan wrote the lyrics about how many of us learned to find peace in the quiet secluded time during pandemic lockdown, despite the misery unfolding around us.”īorn during the initial lockdown of Rome and New York City, and incubated as the seasons passed, doom metal supergroup MMXX are the sound of global isolation.Īt the core of MMXX is Andrea Chiodetti (ex-The Foreshadowing) on guitars and keys, Jesse Haff on drums (Daylight Dies and Gökböri), and Egan O’Rourke on bass (Daylight Dies). We’re all very proud of the final result,”drummer Jesse Haff explains. Dan’s dynamic vocals then elevated it to a completely different level. Even before Dan Swanö brought his magic to the song, I was immediately hypnotized by the composition, and felt it would be the perfect album finale. “Andrea shared what would become ‘Shadow Haven’ with me at the very end of the writing process for ‘Sacred Cargo’. “Shadow Haven” bursts forth with sombre grace and melancholy, paving the path for the band’s debut with a rich-textured soundscape, soulful vocals, and powerful beauty. This is the third single to be released from their forthcoming album Sacred Cargo, out November 11 via Candlelight Records.

Global doom metal supergroup MMXX have released the video for the new single “Shadow Haven”, featuring Dan Swanö (Edge of Sanity/Nightingale).
