Calva Louise‘s brand new multilingual single “La Promesa” has been given its online debut. The alternative metallers have seen fit to pair that song with a new video, which once again saw the group’s own Jess Allanic take on the role of director. She went on to say of the song:
“Although some of those forces can be positive, others can become empty promises rooted in obsessions and delusions, eventually blurring the lines between doing the right thing, accepting a more challenging path or choosing to ignore the consequences of your own actions because it’s the easy way out.”
As for the multilingual approach found here, she offered:
“As Spanish is my native language, it feels more natural for me to accurately convey the abstract emotions that we are experiencing. Also as the song is heavily inspired by Venezuelan Joropo (also known as ‘Música Llanera’), Spanish was subconsciously the only way for me to sing this melody, letting the natural flow of the writing process take total control. That being said, some French lines are sung by our bass player Alizon, as a nod to our multicultural background, and also adding another perspective to the characters’ point of view.”
As for the video, she offered:
“The video for ‘La Promesa‘ was like our previous videos made by ourselves and our friends and it expands on the story of one of the characters of Edge Of The Abyss. Although the video is a DIY endeavor, we feel we keep continuing to progress in our abilities, always trying to increase the production value.”
Allanic oversaw the production of the track, with Jeff Dunne (Knocked Loose, We Came As Romans) being enlisted to mix and master it. Calva Louise‘s current live itinerary runs as follows.
