Former Tribulation guitarist Jonathan Hultén: Music video for “Falling Mirages” released, album on the way

Jonathan Hultén, who was the original guitarist of the Swedish death metal band Tribulation, has released a new solo single, entitled “Falling Mirages“, along with a music video. You can check out the video below:

The music video was filmed in Kollerud, Sweden by Jakob Johansson (“Kollerud Productions”).

Jonathan Hultén comments on the new release as follows:

“Lyrically, ‘Falling Mirages’ addresses the dangers of miscommunication in relationships and the potential consequences of silence. By not speaking up and expressing what weighs on one’s heart, unresolved tension builds up and could eventually render a bond so fragile that it breaks under the weight of a feather. Yet, if it were to fall apart – much like a house – a relationship could be rebuilt if its foundation is solid, and it might even emerge sturdier than before. However, as with a house built on porous, unstable, or sinking ground, a relationship lacking foundational stability will inevitably and repeatedly crumble, with each attempt to save it only prolonging the inevitable – a painful yet familiar realization many of us come to experience in life.”

– Jonathan Hultén

Jonathan Hultén goes on to say that “musically, ‘Falling Mirages‘ weaves together elements of acoustic folk, Manu Chao influences, the delicate sounds of a mechanical music box, and a lo-fi, carnival-esque fantasy soundtrack”:

“Through both its music and lyrics, it tells a story of contemplation in the shadow of loss and resignation, while offering a glimmer of hope on the horizon – depending on the perspective one takes.”

– Jonathan Hultén
