How far would you go to painting your artwork precisely the best way you wished? Would you place your self in a scenario the place it felt such as you had been drowning for almost eight minutes straight? As a result of that’s what Portuguese black metallic outfit Gaerea did for his or her newest music video — I imply “torture artwork experiment” — for the observe “Dormant.”

Featured solely on the bonus version of their final album Mirage, “Dormant” is now out there to everybody simply because the band is on the brink of kick off its North American tour with Blackbraid. So I suppose it solely appeared excessive time for these Pork Chops to topic somebody, ostensibly one in all their very own, to an insufferable quantity of discomfort for the track.

Talking concerning the video in query, the band mentioned the newly launched video match the overarching tone of the observe.

“Complementing the track’s aural journey, the video artwork set up accompanying ‘Dormant’ delves into the anguish and battle for survival. The visuals depict the principle character, trapped and enclosed in a tormenting world, as water relentlessly pours over his physique, simulating drowning and suffocation. This immersive and visceral expertise gives a harrowing glimpse into the protagonist’s combat for all times, evoking a variety of feelings and difficult viewers to confront their very own mortality.”

I don’t learn about you, however I’d have damaged about 15 seconds into that shit. For those who ever wish to get data out of me, simply present me a hood and a glass of water and I’ll spill the beans. How somebody acquired via that complete factor is mind-boggling to me.
