Atmosphere metalcore group Midwinter began streaming a music video for their newest single “Champagne” today, February 04th. The group have locked in a deal with Papercut Recordings, a label venture headed up by Brand Of Sacrifice guitarist Michael Leo Valeri (also the founder of Shibori Threads) and Fit For A King bassist/vocalist Ryan “Tuck” O’Leary (also of Beacon Management, etc.).
Father Seaber took up directing the below video for the song, while the band touched on this track as follows:
“‘Champagne‘ is used as a metaphor to celebrate something that is actually hollow. It symbolizes escapism and temporary euphoria. At its core, the track explores abandonment and betrayal but are masked behind something generally associated with a celebration.
Sonically, we wanted to experiment with contrasting emotions. Similar to the lyrics, certain sections of the track emote feelings of beautiful nostalgia but soon give way to extreme and jarring textures. Blending these together creates a push-pull between optimistic reflection and the pain of loss.”
