Progressive metal supergroup Blindead 23 have issued a music video for their song “You Are The Universe“. That song appears on the band’s debut album “Deuterium“, which landed last month. Blindead 23‘s roster includes guitarist/keyboardist, etc. Mateusz “Havoc” Smierzchalski (ex-Behemoth, etc.), drummer Pawel “Pavulon” Jaroszewicz (VLTIMAS, ex-Vader/Decapitated), vocalist Patryk Zwolinski (ex-Blindead, Antigama) and guitarist/keyboardist Roger Öjersson (ex-Katatonia). They collectively said of this new track:
“‘You Are the Universe‘ closes the album with a powerful meditation on surrender, transformation, and inner conflict. Driven by crushing dynamics, haunting atmospheres, and emotionally charged performances, the track follows a protagonist trapped within cycles of fear, isolation, and self-destruction before arriving at a hard-won moment of acceptance.
Through imagery of machinery, drowning, sleep, and rebirth, the song explores the struggle of confronting one’s own fractured psyche and embracing change rather than resisting it. “The album’s final chapter is about letting go of control and finding clarity within chaos. It is a descent into the self that ultimately reveals a profound truth: the struggle, the war, and the universe itself have always existed within us.”
