Mors Principium Est launch official music video for crushing new single ‘Summoning The Dark’

With “Darkness Invisible” looming on the horizon (September 26, 2025 via PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music), Finnish melodic death metal masters Mors Principium Est have unleashed the third single from their highly-anticipated new record. Along with the new track comes MPE’s first band performance music video since 2016’s ‘Reclaim The Sun,’ making their fans’ level of excitement going sky high.

The storyline follows a faceless, cape-wearing character on its way through a sinister landscape. Starting in the middle of the forest and concluding at the conjuring of an almighty monstrosity from the raging sea, the main protagonist’s path is scarred by multiple shuddering happenings: unknown people hung up and crucified, beings crawling on burning grounds, infested rotting carcasses, helpless humans caught in blood-soaked waters and a fallen angel mark the horrifying mission. Join the ritual of ‘Summoning The Dark’!

Jori Haukio (guitars/programming) states:

We’re returning with a haunting new visual for our new single ‘Summoning The Dark.’ Directed by JP Kaukonen and shot deep within the mystic and ancient woodlands of Finland, the video blends modern high-end production with a subtle fantasy-horror narrative. A dark, immersive journey to a summoning beyond the point of no return.
