ENDLESS

Pridian

“There’s something about the way they look at me now. Like I’m a symbol of something I never agreed to. A shape. A signal. A convincing surface. I’ve kept quiet long enough for them to mistake that for agreement. I’ve stood in their ceremonies, watched them raise empty words like banners. I echo their language without saying anything of my own. Not because I believe, but because it’s easier than being exposed. They don’t want truth. They want symmetry. Clean lines. No noise. I can still feel - The thing they’ve forgotten how to name. And I know they see it flicker in me, even if they don’t understand it. Maybe that’s why they keep me close. Maybe that’s what they’re afraid of.”

Listen to "Endless"

DINY

Pridian

"I drove fast. Faster than I should have really. The night pressed in on me, cold and endless, the road disappearing into the blackness ahead. The air outside was freezing, but it couldn’t match the cold that had settled inside me. My thoughts circled around her, over and over. Every streetlight I passed threw her silhouette onto the road, and for a moment, I thought I saw her standing there, waiting for me. My foot pressed harder on the gas, wondering what it would feel like to just keep going— to let everything go. The emptiness inside was worse than the road ahead, and I wasn’t sure if I was trying to outrun it or dive straight into it. She was gone, but not gone enough. And no matter how fast I went, I knew I’d never escape her."

LISTEN TO "DINY"

Out For Blood

PRIDIAN

“Out For Blood” equals almost a battle cry with its raw, hard-hitting lyrics which encapsulate a relentless pursuit of justice while overcoming influences and perception from the outside world. Musically, the track captivates with a chaotic nature through its energetic riffs paired with EDM-style synths. Atmospheric elements such as the almost robotic voices create an addicting dynamic and relentless energy that makes one want to see this song come alive live. “Out For Blood” showcases that Pridian are not afraid to get a bit more experimental with their sound. With “Near Dark” and “idoldust” released prior, fans of the genre can keep their anticipation for this record high.

Listen To "Out For Blood"

idoldust

PRIDIAN

"Idoldust is about the human tendency to glorify external symbols of power, without realizing that the monuments and figures are mere reflections of their creators, and that true strength is found within each individual.”

Founded 2018 in Tartu, Estonia, metalcore quartet Pridian channels the intensity of their experiences and emotions into a distinctive sound defined by dark, heavy grooves, commanding vocals, and cinematic melodies enhanced with electronic elements. 

Their first album, “The Rotten Unknown” (released in 2021 under the name ÆØNS), earned a nomination for “Metal Album of the Year” at the Estonian Music Awards. Building on this success, Pridian released the EP “Cybergnosis” in 2023, and signed with label Century Media Records in September 2024. 

Now, with the release of “Venetian Dark” as their first full length record as Pridian, the quartet prove their place in the international metalcore scene but also why Estonia’s growing metal scene deserves more light in the future.
