UK dark occult alternative metal band Crimson Veil have shared their new single, ‘Awake,’ a dramatic, emotional, and grandiose track from their debut album ‘Hex’, which is set for release on September 20 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).
The track explores themes of grief and hopelessness, likened to a stormy sea growing increasingly intense and violent until its end. The band explain:
“‘Awake’ is about carrying someone through the water and drowning slowly…it made total sense to shoot the video by the sea. It was shot at sunrise and its was freezing cold! I think you can see how challenging the whole thing was and that only adds to the tension. The drone shots only add to the bleak atmosphere and the feeling of loneliness,”
Atmospheric with a vague sense of unease, the track is anchored by the pounding drums as the vocals spin and weave through the mournful strings. However, things get dramatically heavy as the guitars step in, the drums become manic, and Mishkin Fitzgerald goes full banshee. Your eardrums are never entirely safe with this band.
