Exist Immortal release new music video for ‘Play Pretend’
EXIST IMMORTAL have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Play Pretend, is the brand new single from the UK progressive metal band and marks their first new music since 2022’s self-titled album. The new song is the first of a series of six stand-alone singles due to drop across the year.
Speaking about the new single, vocalist Meyrick de la Fuente says, “the main idea going into writing this specific track was to create the juxtaposition between something really heavy and dark sounding to something really pretty sounding and catchy. There was definitely a lot more space to create freely and without boundaries in this new set of material and that definitely shines through in the songs. The lyrics are about overcoming internal and external constraints and the journey towards self-realization. They underscore the importance of pushing through life’s challenges and the role of belief and imagination in transcending our everyday realities.
The plan for 2024 is to drop a whole bunch of huge singles, all with really cool videos and keep everyone suitably plied with riffs all year long. Our time in Japan supporting the legendary CYNIC last month was literally a dream come true. We had the greatest time playing some of the best shows we have ever had the opportunity to be a part of! It truly is an incredible country and we barely even scratched the surface. We really want to smash some new markets too, as our recent tours of Mexico and Japan this past year have definitely have us poised to go international in a big way.
In these new songs I think it’s fair to say that we have finally really found our feet as a creative unit. We have been writing music that we love and have been motivated solely by how excited we get about the tracks, this is the music that naturally occurs for us and it just flows so easily. I don’t think we’ve ever had so much fun making songs together and we are so hyped to finally get to share them.”
