The Dutch metalcore 5-piece from Eindhoven have released a new single, “Breathe”. This is the band’s first new music since their debut LP OMNI released 3 years ago.
In “Breathe”, the band showcases a refreshing change with guitarist Miquell doing a clean, melodic verse. This is followed by the heavy vocals of Stef that are alternated with powerful melodic vocals of Rik, who also produced/mixed/mastered the track.
The music video for “Breathe” is shot in the band’s basement with a greenscreen and at Motion Experience in Eindhoven by the band’s own Miquell (guitar, director). “It is amazing what you can achieve using just a greenscreen. It of course takes knowing your way around animations and special effects. The fun thing about this approach is that it allows for a lot of creative freedom”, remarks Max (guitar, animations/special effects).
Working hard and chasing the musician’s dream is what Another Now is about. The band strives to overcome each obstacle more effectively than the last, yet this pursuit often demands sacrifices to reach the set goals. Sometimes it is hard to negotiate the right balance between making music and spending time with friends and loved ones.
Rik: “I can be my worst enemy when it comes to getting into the creative process when self-doubt can eat myself alive. I used to have a big problem when working on a mix or a production of a song and knowing when something is done and I should let go. The last couple of projects there were a lot of sleepless weeks where I was just endlessly/mindlessly going over the same song/part over and over again, trying to fix things that never needed any fixing at all. But still going over at it because it had to be perfect. One problem is that you will never know when you have gotten the most out of it. Nowadays, I am learning to let things go more easily and be more kind to myself”.
Stef: “This song means so much to us because we all strive for perfection. With this track we want to let ourselves know that it is totally fine to be not perfect and that we have to learn to let it go and enjoy the moment”.
