A music video for Swedish melodic death metal veterans Soilwork‘s latest single, “Nous Sommes La Guerre” went up online today, June 17th. The band had the following to say of the track:
“‘Nous Sommes la Guerre‘ evolved around a ‘fight or flight’ theme. The song is about internal struggles and confronting your own worst sides. It’s a cry for help in defeating the darkness inside of you and move towards a brighter path.”
Argavilda, who oversaw the artwork for the video, also chimed in:
“The idea is to peel the skin of the narrator to reveal the individual layers and see what makes the individual. All the scarred and murky sides being laid bare the deeper you dig. Crying golden blood because there are no more tears. It is a person soul searching to find answers and exposing themselves to ask for help. My interpretation of the lyrics is intricately connected to being lost and realizing, that you must build yourself up anew and that you cannot do it alone.”
Soilwork‘s twelfth studio album “Övergivenheten” is slated for an August 19th release date.
