It's called Goddess of Rot and it's a song all about Malenia, one of the most notoriously challenging bosses in the video game Elden Ring.

Quotes from Serena on Goddess of Rot:

"Honestly? I think this is the solo song that Svalbard fans will appreciate the most. It has the big reverb-drenched leads, the pretty-yet-sad harmonies, a balance of emotional screams and delicate clean singing. It's the slowest and least heavy song on the album, leaning into atmospheric Finnish Metal influences such as Insomnium and Sentenced, but also DSBM influences such as Thy Light.

But what does the music mean? Well, in the fight to protect those you love, you can get destroyed beyond recognition. When love morphs into sacrifice that leads to inevitable loss. This is what my new song 'Goddess of Rot' is about - but specifically, it is about Malenia. Malenia is one of the bleakest characters in the harsh game of Elden Ring. So of course, she is my favourite. She is fighting to protect her brother Miquella while slowly losing herself to Scarlet Rot.

I deeply connected with her tragic story, so I wrote a song about Malenia to encapsulate the abandonment she suffers but also pay sonic tribute to the devastating power of her Scarlet Rot."
