Fates Messenger release new music video for ‘They Walk Among Us’
FATES MESSENGER have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track They Walk Among Us, is the brand new single from the UK metallic hardcore band comprised of members of ROMEO MUST DIE, DISHONOUR THE CROWN, and ABOVE ALL.
Speaking about the new song, vocalist Tony Maddocks says, “this was the first tune that Ron actually wrote once we started together. We wanted to make it just really hard hitting and catchy. I think there’s a groove to it, but it’s also got a really haunting melodic part that works really well and gives it a little bit more depth and feeling. Lyrically, the idea that came to my head for this song – I’d watched the HBO Stephen King series The Outsider which starred Jason Bateman [Ozark]. The idea that was sitting in my head was how evil forces or malevolent spirits were jumping from person to person, almost in a supernatural way, and manifesting themselves. And it ties in with all the shit that is going on in the world and what is making people tick and act like they do. You’ve only got to pick your phone up or turn on the news and there’s just some horrific thing going on in the world.”
The accompanying video was shot by acclaimed filmmaker and director Shaun Hodson (Loki Films), whose credits include LORNA SHORE, ARCHITECTS and SLEEP TOKEN, at a disused airbase outside Peterborough. “It was actually filmed in an old RAF base called RAF Upwood in Cambridgeshire. I did a bit of research afterwards and it had the American Air Force in it, the British Air Force in it through the Second World War, so quite a cool lot of history,” he explains. “Basically, it’s a derelict base, all falling apart, you know, and it really suited the tune. Shaun nailed it from the vision we wanted – really aggressive looking, a lot of quick edits, and very disturbing.”
