Ignea release new music video for ‘Prefab’
IGNEA have released a new music video!
The Ukrainian modern metal outfit have unveiled Prefab, the third single to be taken from their upcoming new album, Monumental, which is scheduled for release on October 23rd via Napalm Records.
The new track follows the band’s previous singles from the album campaign and features a guest appearance from Andy LaPlegua of COMBICHRIST.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Helle Bohdanova shares, “Prefab reflects on the darker side of nostalgia – prefabricated socialist buildings, originally meant to give everyone a roof over their heads. But like many socialist ideals, the concept was flawed at its core: uniform, industrial, stripping people of individuality and personal choice, making them feel like ants inside their own homes. Remnants of this architecture still stand across Europe – from Ukraine and Poland, from Germany to France – and while people may recall personal memories of them, that nostalgia is often bittersweet at best, rooted in poverty and authoritarian regime.
As Ukrainians from a post-Soviet country, we grew up surrounded by the physical remains of a system that promised a bright future and delivered the opposite. What’s stranger is that even knowing how flawed it was, many people still feel a pull toward certain parts of Soviet life. And it’s not just us – plenty of Westerners romanticize Soviet aesthetics too, nostalgic for a past they never lived.
In the Prefab video, we wanted to convey the feeling of a confined, uniform space, a cramped room representing a typical Soviet apartment, where only the tenants ever change. When we shaped the demo around Prefab, we were basically hearing Andy’s vocals in the back of our minds, and we’re so glad he agreed to lend his voice. Having COMBICHRIST as part of the industrial metal banger on our upcoming album—what could be more iconic? Tune into this ‘cementery for serial dreams’ and try not to headbang!”
