Finnish group Hope Is a Lie is slow, unhurried, and extremely bleak doom, post-metal, sludge, industrial and a pinch of grunge. While the music sounds like despair, and conveys bleak stories of a future without human relationships, if you lose all hope, you have nothing more to lose.
‘Dance’ is the first single from HIaL’s debut album. It’s a story of loss and longing, and about that last chance to find the connection once lost. Nonchalant and creeping, slow and heavy, mixing various vocal styles, this is the song that started Hope Is a Lie.
