Royal Sorrow release new music video for ‘Metrograve’
ROYAL SORROW have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Metrograve, is the debut single from the Finnish alternative metal and its release comes alongside the news that the band have signed with InsideOut Music.
Speaking about signing with InsideOut Music, and the new single, the band shares, “when we signed with InsideOut Music, it also marked the start of a new era. Even though we’ve known each other since childhood, it was time to re-imagine everything we knew; the look, the visuals and the music itself. We started to write material with newfound determination. A lot of rounds and sessions were needed for the pieces to fall into place. After all this, it feels amazing to get to release the band and the first song to the world!
We wanted ROYAL SORROW’s first single to convey the dynamic and energetic essence of the band. Metrograve is a crushing yet hypnotizing journey through a dystopian setting. Metrograve started with a rhythmic idea. We were inspired by the thought of bringing a rap beat to a metal setting, playing with it and creating a full song around it. The song became sort of like a mission statement for the band. The themes revolve around empowerment, fighting for the things that give meaning to you and ignoring the dogmas set by other people.”
For the new song’s accompanying music video, producer-director Jaro Koho, along with lighting designer and location manager Tommi Tiitta, captured the atmosphere of Metrograve in the Hämeenlinna Ice Hall and other selected locations.
“It was definitely a unique experience to film at a huge ice rink. The cold locations really help to bring the kinds of atmosphere we were looking for. Jaro Koho did an excellent job in bringing the sights and sounds together! Special thanks to Tommi Tiitta for organizing this unique location and designing amazing lights.”
