Chthonic release new music video for ‘Millennia’s Faith Undone’

CHTHONIC have released a brand new music video!

The new music video, for the track Millennia’s Faith Undone, is taken from the Taiwanese metallers’ upcoming new album Battlefields of Asura which is scheduled to be released in October this year. The new track features a guest appearance from Hong Kong singer Denise Ho.

Bassist and band spokesperson Doris Yeh states that Millennia’s Faith Undone was inspired by the era of radical change in the history of Taiwan between the 30s and the 50s, also as the prequel to their albums of story series. Birdy, the director of the music video, set the narrative after the stores in their previous music videos of Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace (acoustic ver.) and Kaoru (acoustic ver.). With an out of body experience, the main character sees the White Terror victims’ lives taken away by the dictators, and eventually himself being executed by shooting; all was left is his last will and testament overwhelmed in the mass of historical documents. Birdy recruited the crew and the lead actor and actress, Finn (黃士勛) and Chia-Yu Chang (王丁筑), from the shoot for Defenders of Bú-Tik Palace (acoustic ver.) and Kaoru (acoustic ver.) four years ago. Meanwhile, Doris also announced on Ho‘s fan page the release of the music video of The Aeon’s Version of Millennia’s Faith Undone at the end of the month; the story will be told from the perspective of the lead female character. Although Birdy‘s interpretation and idea might not be exactly the same as CHTHONIC‘s narrative in the album, Doris found the process of re-interpretation of a piece from different artists a rewarding surprise.
