November 9, 2016, 8 years ago
Swedish progressive melodic death metal band, Despite, have released a video for “Awakening”, a track from their debut album, Synergi, which was released on July 22nd via Eclipse Records. “Awakening” tackles the topic of “poisonous political convictions” on the day after the US presidential election. The video was directed by Joel Nilsson of Maluha Media and filmed in the remote badlands of Vasterlanda, Sweden.
“The poison of choice for the saboteurs of today is conviction, and at the core of every conflict you will find these convictions”, states bassist Anthony Cui. “Whether they’re political or religious, these are the anti-theses of diplomacy and communication among humanity. Far too often, people use their convictions as barriers.”
Vocalist Peter Tuthill adds, “The cogs under the surface of our skin represent the fact that we are all small parts of a big machine – planet earth. Until people with convictions are awakened, civilization will be locked in conflict. It’s time to wake the fuck up!”
Synergi contains thirteen powerful songs of progressive, melodic death metal produced by Oscar Nilsson (Engel) at Crehate Studios. The cover artwork was designed by the band’s singer Peter Tuthill, and it perfectly captures the album’s concept as a whole.
The album is already available via iTunes, Amazon (widget below), and Google Play.
