Pridian Signs With Century Media

Based out of Tartu, Estonia, PRIDIAN, a metalcore quartet formed in 2018 has inked a deal with Century Media Records.

The band comments, "We are thrilled to announce that we have signed a record deal with Century Media Records, marking a significant step forward in PRIDIAN's journey. Many of our musical tastes have been shaped by the very bands signed to this label, making this a true full-circle moment for us. As an up-and-coming band from Estonia’s small but growing metal scene, we are incredibly proud to help pave the way for Estonian metal and show the world what PRIDIAN has to offer."

Accompanying the announcement is the first single and music video under the new label banner, "Near Dark."

PRIDIAN’s vocalist Laur shares about the single: "This track symbolizes the complete dissolution of the self. Once you understand that you are nothing, it becomes powerfully liberating. "Near Dark" delves into the depths of pain, feelings of insignificance, and the struggle for identity. Through metaphors of nature and decay, the song expresses a longing to shed personal suffering and become part of something greater. It embodies the desire to bury the past, find renewal, and surrender to life’s natural cycle. In this process of release and rebirth, "Near Dark" becomes a poignant meditation on transformation and the merging of self with the collective whole.”
