High Visions release new music video for ‘Serenity Gone’
HIGH VISIONS have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Serenity Gone, is the brand new single from the Leeds-based skate punk-meets-post-hardcore band and is their first new music since the release of their EP, A First Date With Imposter Syndrome, which was released in June last year.
Due of the effects of the pandemic, the band produced the track themselves from bedrooms and practice rooms, as well as directing and edited the music video. The finished mix and master comes from Dom Wright from The Ranch Production House [CREEPER/GNARWOLVES].
Speaking about the new song, bassist Zygmund ‘Zyggy’ de Somogyi says, “HIGH VISIONS have always been a band that have strived to break free from boundaries of genre and convention, from when we started playing together half a decade ago until today. For me, Serenity Gone feels like a culmination of all the influences we’ve pulled together so far – a ferocious blend of catchy choruses and pummeling guitar work that transcends both the music we’ve made so far and the styles we’ve been known to cross in our music. After a year of silence, we unreservedly feel this is the perfect storm to come back with!”
Drummer Alex Fell adds, “I feel with every release we push ourselves to develop our sound further, bringing in more outside influences and heading in a more interesting, more technical, heavier direction. To me, Serenity Gone is the epitome of those developments so far, with the hardcore and metal influenced side of the band coming through the strongest it ever has, without losing the catchy hooks or the classic skate punk energy we’re known for. It’s one of our most memorable, concise, hard hitting songs, and I think it’s the perfect track to reintroduce ourselves as we begin to play live shows again!”
And guitarist/vocalist Louis Flynn elaborates on the band’s roots and how that has affected their sound. “The beauty of the early 00s skate punk/pop punk era is that the music transcended traditional scenes and became some of the most popular releases of the time. Serenity Gone takes heavy influences from this time, keeping the pop hooks in but pushing the boundaries of how heavy a track of this nature can get. We wanted to throw the rulebook out not only with genre, but with structure and harmony as well.”
