The noir-inspired Experimental Electronica project Time and the Hunter unveil the official video for the single “The Following Silence” feat. Mikael Stanne and taken from debut album “Weapon pt. I” due out on April 25, 2025 via Inertial Music. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
Time and the Hunter is the new noir-inspired musical project by Niklas Sundin (formerly of Dark Tranquillity and Mitochondrial Sun) and Enrico Longhin (The Moor). Characterized by sonic exploration, their music invites listeners to rediscover the joy of immersing themselves in sound on multiple levels.
Time and the Hunter, the visionary musical project of Enrico Longhin and Niklas Sundin, are set to release their third single, “The Following Silence,” on March 21, 2025. This highly anticipated track is taken from their debut album “Weapon pt. I,” scheduled for release on April 25, 2025.
A major highlight of “The Following Silence” is the collaboration with renowned vocalist Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Cemetery Skyline, Grand Cadaver), who delivers a powerful duet with Enrico Longhin. The lyrics were co-written by Longhin and Stanne, blending their unique styles into an emotionally charged and introspective composition.
Longhin shares his thoughts on the track:
“It’s a deeply introspective piece. When we reached this stage of the arrangements, we immediately thought of Mikael as a guest. He had been following the project’s development behind the scenes, and his contribution to the lyrics was a perfect fit for both his voice and the song’s message.”
The accompanying music video, directed by Linda Florin, was filmed in Budapest and captures a noir, Eastern European atmosphere that perfectly complements the song’s mood. The video features Stanne and Longhin performing together, creating an evocative and immersive visual experience.
Regarding the video shoot, Longhin adds:
“Mikael was on tour with The Halo Effect, and we took advantage of their Budapest date since the location was ideal for adding depth to the song. I arrived a day earlier to scout locations, and the next day we shot everything in just two hours. It felt as if we had rehearsed it countless times. What made it into the final cut was entirely improvised, guided by the song’s mood. Even passers-by were drawn into the atmosphere – it was simply magical. I am certain this authenticity shines through in the video, just as it does in the song itself: simple yet effective, with arrangements and melodies that are unmistakably Time and the Hunter.”
“The Following Silence” will be available on all major streaming platforms from March 21, 2025, while “Weapon pt. I” arrives on 25th April 2025. The single also marks the opening of preorders for “Weapon pt. I” in its various formats: black vinyl, transparent vinyl, and digipak CD.
