True avant-garde Norwegians Enslaved have premiered a music video for their new track ‘Storm Son’ which is taken from their forthcoming album ‘E’. The music video was designed by Josh Graham, who has previously worked with Soundgarden and Neurosis among others, and has delivered a truly spectacular piece of animated art.
“‘Storm Son’ deals with the duality of man and nature, how important and basic that relationship is,” explains songwriter and guitarist Ivar. “Everything we do and create are imitations of nature; as we evolved from nature, that is how it must be – yet modern man thinks he and she is independent of nature, that we somehow are so superior that we do not have to take nature into consideration other than as a backdrop for shitty movies. Or festivals. Losing touch with nature is basically to lose touch with being human.”
‘E’ is set for release on October 13th and available to pre-order now via Nuclear Blast
