French melodic metalcore band Novelists premiered a music video for their new single “Ravage” today, September 03rd. Bastien Sablé directed the visuals for that track, with the concept for the clip having been dreamt up by the band’s vocalist Camille Contreras. According to the band:
“‘Ravage‘ was never meant to play it safe. We kept pushing the track further: Heavier, more melodic, wilder… until a baroque cello somehow felt like the most natural thing in the world. The video came from exactly the same impulse. We had the budget to make life easier and hand the project over to a big production company, but we chose to produce most of it ourselves, to make that budget go as far as possible, and achieve the most ambitious result we could. There’s something very Novelists about doing everything ourselves, even when it makes our lives unnecessarily complicated, simply because we’re obsessed with bringing what’s in our heads to life exactly as we imagine it.”
The song strategically lands online just ahead of the launch of the band’s fall tour with Bilmuri and Knuckle Puck. That run will be kickoff tomorrow, September 04th, in Orlando, FL.
