Glass Ocean release new music video for ‘Voyage’
GLASS OCEAN have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Voyage, is taken from the Australian progressive metal band’s upcoming debut album, The Remnants of Losing Yourself in Someone Else, which is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Wild Thing Records. The release of the new music video follows on from their previous single, Beyond Us, which also appears on the upcoming debut.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist Tobias Atkins says, “for selfish and foolish reasons we can lead ourselves down paths with serious consequences. Under the guise of a virtuous pursuit or belief, we try defy nature herself to bend the rules of reality to our ideology. The repercussion for doing so can result in something catastrophic or traumatic. Something you may never come back from. Something you could of avoided if you had only listened to a voice on the wind that cared deeply about your wellbeing. Sacrifice yourself and your view of the world, if it means you will lead a better life.”

As mentioned, the new music video is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album. The album draws you into the waves of vocalist Tobias Atkins‘ heartfelt storytelling, which is escorted by trance-inducing heavy grooves, clouds of futuristic synth layers, and far-reaching, punchy guitars. Produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Blancato [NORTHLANE], the new record also showcases the continued collaboration with ex-founding member Nic Pettersen [NORTHLANE] who co-wrote album tracks Voyage, A Dream From Which I May Not Wake, Soul Slumber, Divide, Pride, and Almaida.
The Remnants of Losing Yourself in Someone Else started out as a concept narrative record which evolved through the creative process into an honest exploration of personal themes. Tobias Atkins elaborates, “the band set out with a vision to write a specific story. However, it became difficult to force a narrative that wasn’t the truth. Instead, something entirely different emerged. The real beating heart of the album, the idea that the songs were the remnants of losing yourself in someone else. We build structures, only to tear them down. What was once there is gone, and replacing it is the remnants of who you are and who you wanted to be; a never-ending dialogue of forces subordinate to an ever-changing ideal. For better or worse, they exist here by the will of your own creation, through which we journey to find a covenant within ourselves and the world around us.”
