Verona Lights released their latest single 'Labyrinth of Gold' on May 22nd 2020, and are currently recording their 3rd album 'Minos'.
'Labyrinth of Gold', is the point in this story where the protagonist finds themself repeating mistakes of the past in an effort to fix them.
The labyrinth itself being made of gold is a theme explored later in the album, the concept is based in the Japanese art of Kintsugi (the repairing of broken ceramic with golden lacquer).
'Labyrinth of Gold' is available now on all major streaming services.

-Ro, I Built The Sky Formed in 2010, Verona Lights and their original line up released the album 'A Weightless Descent' in 2012.
In 2017 the band released their second album 'Adrestia'. The album follows the story of an amnesiac, slowly coming to terms with their place in the world and how the consequences of their actions affect those around them. Musically the album expands on their previous release bringing more electronic and heavy elements, while still retaining the dynamics that the band is known for.

'Minos' is a concept album, following immediately after the events of (one of the possible endings of) the last Verona Lights album 'Adrestia' (also a concept album).
The looping and winding labyrinth has a double meaning here, as while they are navigating the fragile social aspect of the situation they're in and attempting to find a safe exit, they are also navigating their own mind, trying not to get lost in the "why" and focusing more on the "how" of seeking their redemption.
Keeping in mind that the labyrinth being representative of both the physical world and a metaphor for the mind; here, the "labyrinth" has been maintained and repaired over time with gold, which may look more beautiful than stone, but is far weaker.
