Abrahma release new music video for ‘Lost Forever’

ABRAHMA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Lost Forever, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album In Time for the Last Rays of Light which is scheduled to be released in May.

Speaking about the new music video, video director Michael Leclere says, “Lost Forever unequivocally deals with depression, so I wanted to evoke identity quest as a parry to nothingness. When you lose yourself into the wilderness and have to draw in your own resources, facing yourself and looking after your animus, finding the strength to fight for things that may seem meaningless. Moving slowly toward an inextricable death, whether you do it to get a little more time or to find epiphany as a last shield before the abyss. We keep scattering pieces of ourselves through our constant efforts to stay alive. It’s like dying a little more each time. And it’s what will get us in the end.

The upcoming album was produced and mixed at Orgone Studios by Jaime Gomez Arellano (PARADISE LOST, GHOST, CANDLEMASS), and follows 2015’s Reflections in the Bowels of a Bird. A split with the prior lineup of the band brought the Rouen, France-based founding vocalist/guitarist Sébastien Bismuth into contact with local outfit SPLENDOR SOLIS, whose members would soon be folded into the new incarnation of ABRAHMA. After many false starts, the band hit the studio in July 2018 and set to work on what is unmistakably their greatest accomplishment to-date: an album that copes with the depression that birthed it and soars hopefully above while reminding that the darkness beneath is ever-present.

Speaking about the album, Bismuth says, “people do not take mental illness seriously. People suffering from depression generally feel rejected, and it is not only a feeling. People that never gone through it generally do not really understand how hard it can be to live every day with this weight on your shoulders, all those questions going through your head. I decided to use this album as a medication against this depression and maybe help other people in this situation. Each song explains a different side of it: loss of confidence, other’s critical looks, the impression of not having a place in this world.”

In Time for the Last Rays of Light is set for release on May 24th via Small Stone Records.
