Fractal Universe release new music video for ‘Symmetrical Masquerade’

FRACTAL UNIVERSE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Symmetrical Masquerade, is taken from the progressive death metal band’s upcoming new album, The Impassable Horizon, which is scheduled to be released in June this year. The song’s accompanying music video was animated by Costin Chioreanu of Twilight 13 Media.

In regards to the lyrical theme of the new song, the band comments that it is “the hope humans have of a something, whatever its nature, after death. In that constant denial of the fact that death could equal the ‘non-being’, humans turn this anxiety into an expectation, even a deliverance. But there’s always a doubt remaining. And the most distressing thing isn’t the knowledge of the inevitable, but rather the fact that nothing’s for sure.”

Director Costin Chioreanu adds, “the video is a collection of beyond death moments experienced by the last human body left. The robots are trying to keep the body alive, in order to record the travels into the afterlife of the soul incorporated into it. There are memories melted with products of subject’s subconscious mind work. At one point, the robots are planting in the veins of the character a strange recording device, which will follow his soul beyond the realms of death…and then, the memories of the human collective are accessed and collected, and we can see how the entire species got lost into a self-sabotaging belief system.”
