Скачать или смотреть SPIRALIST: "The Deepest Abyss" (official video)

Official video for Spiralist's single "The Deepest Abyss", off of his debut full-length album, "Nihilus", out on May the 4th 2018 through Microfome.

Shot in Valongo, Portugal, in the studios of Mestria in late 2017, "The Deepest Abyss" is a long, gritty and metaphorical look at the psychological desintegration that depression and isolation provide. In it, a gracious dancer (the embodiment of the video's themes) unleashes chaos on an artist's work space, spreading black ink across the studio and burning notes of ideas and pictures of happy memories, while the artist holds on to a black dog, in itself a highly metaphorical image.

Directed by the team of Mestria and edited by Mestria and Spiralist, the video features Catarina Soeiro as the dancer (whose performance itself was directed by Marquesa Giraud), blending tradicional dancing with a visceral performance. The video also features Spiralist himself as the artist, and his dog Luna.

The video echoes the album's themes of depression, isolation and anxiety, and serves as the album's ultimate visual statement.


LYRICS:

Hail Death, my master. In thy hands I command my spirit. Oh, bless me with thy wisdom and bring about our tombs. I pledge allegiance to thy grim future, for I know life is fleeting. And in denial the servants of light shall see their hopes sinking in reality.

Rise, untethered pupil. Embody the darkness’s calling and plague the cosmos with truth. Whisper howls of ruin and despair and grow the seeds of meaninglessness within their hearts. Any man who attempts to see past mortality shall be made an example of with sudden termination. Naysayers, reachers and believers all shall see you on their deathbed and consumed by the emptiness of their passing.

Yes Lord, thy will is mine to carry onward forever. In death, purpose found in purpose obliterated. Darkness permeating aureate realms, in time to blackout forever. The end is nigh for us, rejoice with me, rejoice with me!

THERE IS A FINAL DESTINATION: WE WALK ALL OVER IT EVERYDAY!
