MARIANAS REST announce new album and unleash video for first single “The Colour of You”

Finnish doom-laden death metal force MARIANAS REST have officially announced the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, “The Bereaved”, set to drop on January 16, 2026, via their new label home Noble Demon. To mark the occasion, the band has released the first single and haunting music video for “The Colour of You” – a track that sets the emotional and sonic tone for what may be their most personal and devastating album to date.

“When we started composing The Colour we didn’t see it ending up as a love song, but here we are,” comments vocalist Jaakko Mäntymaa. “Like the whole album, this song deals with personal loss. Sometimes it may be healthier to forget than to cling on to memories no matter how cherished they are.”

Guitarist Nico Mänttäri adds: “At first we had an acoustic demo with some string arrangements that we didn’t exactly know what to do with. We went back and forth with a couple of ideas but it didn’t seem to hit the right nerve. Then when the idea of what the song could be about, it was a light bulb over the head type of a situation, and it took maybe half an hour to get the arrangement sorted.”
