Defences have released a new music video for ‘Breathe It In’

DEFENCES have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Breathe It In, is taken from the Hertfordshire-based alternative metal band’s upcoming new album, Shadowlight, which is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Long Branch Records.

Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Breathe It In was one of the very first tracks we started on this record and it shows in its message. Far from the contemplative and collected tone struck on later songs like Silence & The Sound and Shadowlight, this song is about taking the first step on the road to self-acceptance, or even realising that a step needs to be taken in the first place. It is all too easy to wonder about what could have been or ruminate on how we wish our lives were, and the first step to peace of mind is to recognise and call out this vicious cycle as it’s happening. Once we struck on this idea of taking a step, we came up with the marching, rhythmic sound of the chorus to represent this process. We also felt it was important to not end this song on a resolved, symmetrical note; it was crucial for us to convey a feeling that the end of the song asked a question about the future of what this introspective journey holds, rather than answering it.”
