Time and the Hunter - "Mycelium" (Official Video)

Renowned Swedish guitarist and sound designer Niklas Sundin (ex-Dark Tranquillity, Mitochondrial Sun) and Italian vocal artist Enrico Longhin (The Moor) unveil "Mycelium," the debut single from their new project Time and the Hunter. The track, accompanied by an exclusive music video, marks the first step into the project's unique sonic universe, where every second is an era and every cell an entire world.
"Mycelium" delves into themes of fear and transformation, drawing inspiration from Italo Calvino’s allegorical storytelling. The song tells the tale of a man confronting his fears, symbolized by a lion, while Enrico Longhin’s vision adds depth through the imagery of an ancient forest, where the mycelium, the vast, interconnected underground network, serves as a metaphor for hidden strength and unseen connections.
Enrico Longhin explains:
"We worked on this album for four years, meticulously refining every detail from the lyrics to the sonic textures and atmospheres. Despite this, we embraced an intuitive approach, prioritizing emotion over technical perfection. There were no commercial calculations behind the project; every track stands on its own, allowing us complete freedom to explore any sound or instrument we desired. ‘Mycelium’ takes you on a magical journey, beginning with an immersive intro before unfolding into a vast emotional landscape. What I love most is that these songs can make you laugh and cry at the same time, there’s always a bittersweet balance running through the album."
Produced by Enrico Longhin and Niklas Sundin, "Mycelium" was mixed by Longhin and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory (Katatonia, Bloodbath, Darkane). The music video was self-produced and directed by Niklas Sundin, whose visual artistry brings the song’s mysterious world to life.
"Mycelium" is released worldwide on February 14, 2025.

Lyrics:
we are either condemned
so is the lion
my weapon, a shard of a tree
that felt down on the riverside
where nothing moves but a leaf
run creature run
where their loyalties lie
run creature run
where nothing moves but an arrow
spikes are coming out of nowhere
nothing but the light
second's burning too
run creature run
in heaven, what's true is true
crows above
forest calls
hungering for oxygen
and more and more
we turn into spores
brace the soil
I'm the lion
soiled by our sin
who's that one we hear screaming?
sure, it comes from far away,
is that you?
I hear the sound
in the mark of the Beast
night came to be by your side
hunter in disguise
recognize my eyes
hear the sound
