Inherited Time released “Mount of Empty Hopes,” the second single from their upcoming debut album. The track follows a character’s struggle between life and death in a comatose dream, climbing a mountain toward a light of salvation. Musically, it pits aggressive riffs and extreme growls against operatic vocals and symphonic layers.

The Finnish outfit plays modern symphonic metal with a sci-fi atmosphere. Their sound blends traditional melodic metal with power metal elements, featuring majestic orchestral melodies and a vocal range that shifts between clean singing and intense growls. The band features Alesia Savolainen on vocals, Jani Härkönen on bass, Tero Rannila on drums, Olli Pölkki on keyboards, and Ville Pölkki on guitars.
