Black Orchid Empire release new music video for ‘Natural Selection’

BLACK ORCHID EMPIRE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Natural Selection, is taken from the band’s upcoming new album Semaphore which is scheduled to be released in June this year.

Speaking about the track and it’s accompanying music video, guitarist/singer Paul Visser says, “this song tells the story of an alien sent to a doomed earth to try and ‘correct’ the mistakes humans have made. Finding not only hubris and greed but also beauty and wonder, the alien falls in love with the planet and its flawed people, and decides to go down with the ship.

We love playing this track – it’s surprisingly challenging with the various time signature changes and rhythmic complexities as well as a technically-demanding vocal melody, but so satisfying and fun. Alina Gordienco and her team made a narrative-driven video for the song which we literally cannot believe. What they’ve achieved is completely insane – our very own alien. It’s like watching a big-budget movie. Check it out!”

Semaphore is set for release on June 12th via Long Branch Records.
