"Slaying of the Witch" is the second single from SAGEN’s upcoming album, Whalefall. The song tells the story of Guruntu, who has long tested humanity with the gift of power from the Tusk. Her secretive research attracts the attention of Vice-Oderant Silric, who believes her knowledge holds the key to the future of their people, the Ithradi.
In this final confrontation, Silric demands answers, and their clash of ideals—between secrecy and revelation—sets the stage for a defining moment. The track explores themes of power, control, and the consequences of hidden truths, with the lyric “Intertwining fates; future and past” capturing the gravity of their decisions.
“Intertwining fates; future and past”
Sagen effortlessly blends the aggressive intricacies of death, groove, technical, deathcore, and progressive metal to forge a unique and commanding sonic experience. With their signature style, they combine crushing riffs, electrifying guitar solos, complex drum patterns, and ferocious vocals to create a sound that is as engaging as it is punishing. Every Sagen album tells an immersive story, leaving an unforgettable impact on listeners.
The band’s discography includes three full-length albums: Tides of Succession (2016), Mammoth (2021), and Roots of Proctor (2023). Their forthcoming album, Whalefall, is set for release in early 2025, with four singles scheduled to roll out in the coming months. Alongside the album, a companion book delving into the narrative universe of the songs is in the works.
