Acolyte release new music video for ‘Clarity’

March 13, 2021 James Weaver

ACOLYTE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Clarity, is taken from the Australian progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Entropy, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Wild Thing Records/Blood Blast Distribution.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Morgan-Leigh Brown says, “rock bottom; Clarity provides warmth in our darkest hour. I wrote this song from the point of view of someone at their very lowest point, not knowing where to go, what to do or who to turn to. On the bathroom floor, broken; alone; after staring into a mirror, and not recognising the reflection they see any longer.

Featuring Ben Richter from CIRCLES, this track offers a sense of helplessness and sadness. Ben and I present a conversation between two voices in one mind, warm and cold, reaching a pinnacle of raw, desperate, sadness before coming back down to a resolution, ‘I can let it go’. When I sent the track to Ben, I discussed with him that I was searching for someone who could deliver a very warm and nurturing vocal that would contrast my tormented, insecure delivery. Ben is so talented and just knew exactly what I was after. The result speaks for itself and is one of my favourite instalments on the record.”

The upcoming album was brought to life by award-winning producers Prasheen Naran and Forrester Savell [KARNIVOOl, DEAD LETTER CIRCUS] at Melbourne’s Sing Sing Recording Studios. “The way these stories could be told with such pain, aggression, subtlety, melody, angst, torture, torment and tension… I loved it all,” continues Brown. Turning her attention to the material of the band’s forthcoming album, she states, “this is the most vulnerable, relatable and passionately raw I have been artistically.”
