Aisles release new music video for ‘Megalomania’

AISLES have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Megalomania, is the brand new single from the Chilean progressive rock band and follows on from their last single, Disobedience, which was released last month. The new song is another glimpse into the band’s upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released in 2022 via the band’s own label Presagio Records.

The new song was influenced by the heaviness of ANIMALS AS LEADERS, the electronic sound of Richard Spaven, and MUSE‘s most recent albums. “It is an ode to darkness and the nostalgia for what was left behind and the internal force that pushes you forward,” explains Germán Vergara, the group’s guitarist. The lyrics are inspired by “the use of pleasure to cover pain. It is like saying that beauty will drag you down, will take your soul, will heal your wound,” says the musician.

The track was recorded at Estudio del Sur, produced by Angelo Marini and Germán Vergara, mixed by Pepe Lastarria [KUERVOS DEL SUR, NUNCA SEREMOS DICHOSOS] and mastered by American engineer Randy Merrill [MUSE, PAUL MCCARTNEY, BECK, LIAM GALLAGHER].

The song’s accompanying music video was directed by the renowned Chilean filmmaker Bernardo Quesney and the script was written by Vergara. “The clip is about a polyamorous relationship that comes to an end. The characters deal with this break-up in a compulsive way, trying to fill the void in multiple sexual relationships with other people,” he explains. “The video also is about intolerance with other ways of life, violence against sexual minorities and alternative views of life. It’s a story of true love with an unhappy ending.”
