Swedish Melodic Death Metalles SOILWORK, have just released an animated official music video for their new single “Nous Sommes la Guerre” (We Are War), taken from the band’s upcoming album “Övergivenheten”, out on August 19th via Nuclear Blast.
SOILWORK comment: ” ‘Nous Sommes la Guerre’ evolved around a ‘fight or flight’ theme. The song is about interanl struggles and confronting your own worst sides. It’s a cry for help in defeating the darkness inside of you and move towards a brighter path.”
The extraordinary artwork for the new single is created by Argavilda who has a very singular view on the band’s latest output.
His thoughts about ‘Nous Sommes La Guerre’ and his interpretation of it: “The idea is to peel the skin of the narrator to reveal the individual layers and see what makes the individual. All the scarred and murky sides being laid bare the deeper you dig. Crying golden blood because there are no more tears. It is a person soul searching to find answers and exposing themselves to ask for help. My interpretation of the lyrics is intricately connected to being lost and realising, that you must build yourself up anew and that you cannot do it alone.”
Musically and lyrically evolved, SOILWORK release their most complex and elaborate album to date which marks a new phase of their career. Not only due to the tremendous effort and time they put in but also the results on the album reflect years of development and experience as a band, which is ultimately provided on “Övergivenheten” for the fans to enjoy.
