RISING: Premier New Video "White Heat."
March 6, 2019
Epic sludge metal quintet RISING took an ambitious leap with the band's fourth album, Sword And Scythe, a concept album on the history of mankind seen from the perspective of cosmic circularity, where the full potential of the band's musical vision unfolds in a collection of songs of both progressive outlook, melodic mastery and fierce aggression. Released last October with Indisciplinarian, on Sword And Scythe RISING are moving towards a more progressive direction, while operating confidently within a wide range of dynamics and facets of their own compositional and playing ability. The album varies from fast, short songs to longer epics with proggy structures, continuously displaying a fierce heaviness balanced by a distinct sense of melody and finesse, not at least in the updated twin guitar arrangements. Further, the album is enriched by a group of musical guests adding choir vocals, piano, trombone as well as mellotron parts, and has pleased and surprised both fans and critics alike.
Now the band is sharing a brand new video for the track White Heat, just exclusively premiered with Rock Hard and New Noise Magazine! Lead singer and lyricist Morten Grønnegaard has created the video, of which he says: "'White Heat' tells the story of a distant future where the fossil fuels that once forged our industrial society, are nothing but an ancient memory. Humanity struggles to find a new power source that can generate the white heat demanded to reindustrialize the world. A fast, aggressive yet melodic song with odd time signatures describing man's striving towards both survival and dominance, and all it implies, good and bad. The video is a metaphorical illustration of this ambition and its palpable consequences that are our world today. But along the intent of the album's concept of examining man's nature, it is also a visual question to ourselves: is the current course the only path we can tread, or are we capable of self-critique to the point of controlling our instincts and convey a sustainable existence...?"
