Memoriam (ex-Bolt Thrower, etc.) have newly premiered a music video for their new single “All Is Lost“. That song is the first to emerge from their Russ Russell (Napalm Death, Dimmu Borgir) produced new album “Rise To Power“, due out February 03rd.
Hal Sinden directed the below video for the song and had the following to say about working with them:
“The members of Memoriam are legends in their own right within the international extreme metal community, amassing decades of prestige through work in previous acts such as Bolt Thrower, Benediction, and The Damned. When I was approached by them and their record label, Reaper Entertainment, to create their first music video for Rise To Power, I was initially stunned but then overwhelmingly eager to create something special for them.
Our mutually agreed principle was to avoid the ‘band performs in nondescript warehouse’ trope and to weave as much of a story as possible within the song’s six-minute running time. The lyrics to ‘All Is Lost‘ are succinct enough to present a stern atmosphere but open enough for personal interpretation, and in this instance we found that the narrative theme unexpectedly resonated with current affairs, certainly within the UK, as we approached the dates of production.”
