Greek Metal masters NIGHTFALL, have released an official live video for “Witches”, taken from At Night We Play show at Gagarin Club, Athens, November 13th, 2021. “Witches” comes from the band’s latest album “At Night We Prey”, which was released on March 5th, 2021 through Season Of Mist.
For those who don’t know, “At Night We Prey” is a very dark and personal effort, tackling the topic of vocalist Efthimis Karadimas’s battle with depression. “A beast I have experienced its teeth deep into my soul, I decided to come out and share that experience with metalheads“, Efthimis says. “This is the least I can offer now to the big fight against depression. If we do not stop this, it will eat us all alive. Share your pain, speak openly about it. This is the only way to kill the demons in your mind.”
And he adds: “This album is made of anger and hope. Anger about all those stereotypes built around serious subjects affecting all, like depression; and hope for things to change for the better. We sing for younger generations to break down old misconceptions about mental disorders. Music in this album is not following a linear pattern, but rather tries to catch the entire spectrum of mood swings one is experiencing, while in this state. It is a blend of fast and slow parts, heavy and heavier passages, in a natural progress from start to end. Enjoy it and let its message root in you.”
“I am crucified by the fairies of the night, mesmerized by hypnotic stimulating lies. Witches I am your slave, do to me what you like. I offer you my soul to give me a new life. On a stage with thousand souls I am standing now. Sing for me, I sing for you, you the manic crowd. Lost my faith to heresies, religions and sects. My God is you, broken souls, you are my revenge …”
