Black Orchid Empire release new music video for ‘Evergreen’

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Evergreen, is taken from the British rock band’s upcoming new album Semaphore which is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Long Branch Records.

Speaking about the new song, its accompanying music video, and the upcoming album, guitarist/vocalist Paul Visser says, “Evergreen is one of our favourite tracks on Semaphore. It’s full of really interesting chord progressions, riffs and melodies that somehow come together and make perfect sense. It came from a guitar riff that I had knocking around for a while that Dave and Billy found a home for. The middle instrumental section is something we haven’t done for a while – it just felt right to take the song on a journey from quite empty and sparse to full-on insanity.

“Lyrically, as with all the tracks on Semaphore, it’s a sci-fi story. All of the thematic concepts for the songs came about organically while we were writing – Evergreen is about the idea of a slowly receding island of lush greenery in an otherwise barren wasteland. The last habitable place on a planet, run by the elite, with a band of exiled scavengers living on scraps in the outskirts. Our good friend Alina Gordienco came up with the video treatment, which portrays an artistic interpretation of the lyric, and shot an incredible narrative sequence in the Ukraine. We were floored with what she put together – it perfectly complements the music and conjures the same visuals we had in our heads for the song. It blew us away! Although not a traditional single format, Evergreen serves as a great introduction to the wider ideas and musical exploration of the new album.”
