Lunatic Soul - The Passage (from Through Shaded Woods)

Lunatic Soul premiere first single and video for 'The Passage' from the new album 'Through Shaded Woods' out now.

Following the announcement that will release their new and seventh album Through Shaded Woods, through Kscope on 13th November; the band have premiered “The Passage”, the first single and video to be taken from the forthcoming album.

Of the new track Mariusz Duda comments "’The Passage’ is a signature piece of the new Lunatic Soul album, on which we enter a mysterious forest full of dynamic, ritual dances. The title "passage" is the destination for the main character, where he is to be cleansed and reborn. "Shaded Woods" are our worst traumas and nightmares, the most difficult moments in our life. Going through them symbolises facing and overcoming them. "Through Shaded Woods" is about reaching a better place in life, about giving yourself another chance.

"Shaded Woods" is also symbolic of our present, difficult times. Let us hope that at the end of this dangerous path we are on, we will have become richer in new experiences, wiser and much stronger, which is my wish for everyone. May this song, as well as the whole album, be like a torch, which not only makes the darkness disappear, but might come in handy when fighting monsters.”

LS fans: "How can anything be as good as Gutter? Lightning doesn't strike twice."
Mariusz Duda: "Hold my Mjölnir."

[TheFloatingBartender]

Every album is similar but totally different. My music library was blessed when I added this fantastic artist to my collection

[mohnnnnnnn]

Anything the man touches turns to gold. What a legend !

[MrZarath]

I'm so lucky, that i live in the same time with Mariusz Duda.

That moment when mid part of Lunatic Soul track is heavier than last Riverside album ;)

[aestusmaris]

How awesome would it be to see a half Riverside half Lunatic Soul show. Alll the jeans creamed.

[Enoon]

I have got everything from Riverside to date, got his entire lockdown trilogy, got all Lunatic Soul to date. Love them all. This one trumps them all, in my humble, audio equivalent of Dolina Issy and Prawiek. This man is a marvel.

[scottshelton]

I like Steve Wilson but love this guy. Incredible

[DennisRadaelli]

Didn't expect that. I don't have any problems to say that this is one of the best Lunatic Soul ever released. And that middle section: OH MY GOD

[ilkereskikoy]

When I stop listening to this song, it starts playing in my head.

[staratlas]

This whole album helped me out of a dark time a few years ago! I wish I could share this entire piece of art with every human being on the planet, there is a magic and vibration to these songs, you can tell it was channeled out of pure passion and love. Thank you for helping me heal with your music Lunatic Soul, and helping me find The Passage, back to the Light❤️

Mariusz, jesteś muzycznym geniuszem. Chciałbym żebyś we własnym kraju był tak ceniony jak za granicą

[Lyricat]

No one can compare to Mariusz Duda. Such a class act.

[TheBlackycat]

The middle portion to the end of this song reminds me a lot of Indukti. I wish that band was back together. Mariusz did a great job on vocals on S.U.S.A.R. and Idmen blew me away.

[robertlopaciuk]

2020 does not deserve such a masterpiece.

[Michael_CDK]

I'm a bit concerned with just how much I've listened to this song in the last few days alone. It's so. damn. good.

[WillShawofficial]

The best thing I've stumbled across in my entire life under any circumstances.

[ELENI]

I love every note of it.
Mariusz has the innate talent to transfer the images he has in his head, to notes in your soul.
His voice is velvety like morning frost.
Well done. ♥♥♥♥♥

Best way to end my week. After receiving news that my Grandmother just tested positive for COVID on top of my wife entering the final days of the pregnancy, I needed an outlet...some resonating force...I needed to have something to make sense of both a catastrophe and a blessing occuring around the same time. Lo and behold, it was Duda's medicine. It doesn't change things with my Grandmother, but this song is the jam I need to get in my thoughts to try and make sense of the absurdity of life right now.
