Acolyte release new music video for cover of ‘No Time To Die’

ACOLYTE have released a new cover!

The cover, of the James Bond theme No Time To Die by BILLIE EILISH, comes as the Australian progressive band returns to the music scene after a hiatus. The Music premiered the video in Australia and Prog Magazine premiered the music video for the rest of the world.

Sitting alongside the heavy and grand themes of the band’s tell-tale sound, there are also moments of fragility and sparse soundscapes that portray a dark undertone throughout. Starring Daniel Craig and pegged for release in November of this year, the upcoming twenty-fifth instalment of the film series has been preceded with BILLIE EILISH’s now-iconic contribution to the theme, which, as vocalist Morgan-Leigh Brown reflects, quickly became a befitting cover for ACOLYTE to undertake.

Billie has achieved the same in our opinion in the pop genre on a worldwide platform. We chose this song as the collaboration with Hans Zimmer allowed us to re-explore a dynamic cinema orchestration led with a strong but emotive classical vocal line. After completing our record and seeking to re-engage with our fans it was a natural pivot for us – and fun to show that we can quite easily blend and bend genres. Our music really has something for everyone.”
