Sarcator unleash music video for new single “In Search Of Oblivion” 

Swedish metal force Sarcator has released a video clip for their new single “In Search Of Oblivion,” offering another glimpse into their much-anticipated fourth studio album, “The Ones We Follow,” due October 30, 2026 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Following the album’s title track, the new single reveals a more melodic and atmospheric side of the band’s evolving sound.

Dark, hypnotic and deeply introspective, “In Search Of Oblivion” explores obsession, self-destruction and transformation. Built around haunting melodies, massive hooks and cinematic tension, the track showcases Sarcator‘s evolution beyond extreme metal into darker and more atmospheric territory.

Mateo Tervonen (guitar/vocals) comments:
“This would be the power-ballad of the record. Guitar work very inspired by Danzig-ballads and drumming and groove by 90s / Bob Rock era Metallica. Some soft passages in this gives it more of a Sisters of Mercy / The Cure type of vibe. The words in this song is there to give the listener a sense of empowerment, like an Arena Rock-song should do. The fun thing about this song is that it’s the only song on the record that was intentionally made to be a pompous and bombastic Metal song, but also the most ”ballad” sounding song simultaneously.”

There comes a point in every band’s journey when experimentation gives way to conviction. When years of searching no longer lead to another reinvention, but to an identity. For Sweden’s Sarcator, that moment has arrived.

Over the past years, Sarcator have built a reputation as one of Scandinavia’s most exciting young heavy bands, earning nominations for both Sweden’s P3 Guld and Grammis Awards while sharing stages with Hellripper, 1349 and Midnight. Yet “The Ones We Follow” is not the culmination of that journey. With new bassist Linus Edmarker now joining the fold, it is where everything comes together.

Rather than asking where they fit within heavy music, Sarcator follow a far simpler principle:

What serves the song? Every creative decision begins there.

That philosophy has become the band’s creative compass, allowing punk urgency, gothic atmosphere, timeless heavy metal, dark rock swagger and extreme metal intensity to coexist naturally. The result is what the band simply calls death’s rock; not a genre, but an identity.

The same creative restlessness runs through the entire album. Rather than following expectations, trends or genre boundaries, Sarcator trusted instinct at every turn. Every creative decision – from the songwriting to the visual world – serves one purpose: the song itself.

“The Ones We Follow” is not about looking back or recreating the past. It marks the moment where Sarcator move forward with complete confidence in who they have become. The songwriting is sharper, the artistic identity clearer, the visual world more immersive and the band’s vision more focused than ever before.

What comes next is about seeing who follows.

“The Ones We Follow” will be released on October 30, 2026 via Reigning Phoenix Music.
