As a heartfelt “Thank you!” for everyone’s love and support, Cemetery Skyline are releasing “The Coldest Heart” (Live Semi Acoustic 2024), which was captured in an intimate setting shortly before the release of their debut album, Nordic Gothic, in October. Watch a video from the session below.
Markus Vanhala (guitar) looks back: “We went all the way to New York City to celebrate the release of our album, Nordic Gothic, and besides all the partying at Duff’s we played a special secret show and did it the old school 90’s MTV Unplugged trio way. So here’s one result of that night, ‘The Coldest Heart’, in its most gentle and stripped down acoustic way. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed this special moment.”
The release comes shortly after Cemetery Skyline were excited to learn that they were nominated for the Finnish Emma 2025 in the categories “Best Rock” and “Best Artist” (public vote).
