Akercocke release new music video for ‘Insentience’

AKERCOCKE have released a brand new music video!

Fresh from their appearance at last weekend’s Desertfest, the UK’s revered extreme metallers have released a brand new video! The new video, for the track Insentience, is taken from the band’s comeback album Renaissance In Extremis which was released last year. Speaking about the song’s creation, development and the personal lyrical content, guitarist/vocalist Jason Mendonca says, “Insentience was a weird addition to RiE. Most of the material for the album, Paul and I had written long, long ago. The music for Insentience came to me while I was asleep. I woke up during the night on a number of occasions with riffs in my head. I then murmured the riffs into my cell phone (so as not to wake my neighbours) and went back to sleep. Hence the working title of the song was Murmur. When I transcribed these riffs from the phone to the guitar, I realised that they worked together and Insentience was born. I guess the song wrote itself really. The lyrical content is particularly personal. The lyrics obliquely reference my past, the power of the amygdala, and the potential to return from the bleakest of places. It’s a song of hope really.”
