Invent Animate release new music video for ‘Elysium’

INVENT ANIMATE have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Elysium, is the brand new single from the American metalcore band and follows on from their last single, Shade Astray, which was released earlier this year. The new material follows on from the band’s The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was, which was released in September last year.

Lyrically, the new song dives deep into subject matter we can all relate to – grief. “When my grandfather got sick, I was a 15-year-old boy with no emotional grip on my world,” offers vocalist Marcus Vik, pulling back the curtain on the song’s inspiration and sharing how it helped him exorcise a personal demon he was dealing with. “We were close, but his sickness was something I didn’t see. It might’ve been because I didn’t want to see it or that I was too scared. When he passed, I didn’t comprehend the mourning, I didn’t feel it, and that made me feel shame. It took me 12 years to wake up one day and embrace it, and it hit me like a wave of odd emotions that I’ve never felt before. Grief is upon me and this is the story of me looking back, searching my inner self and looking forward.”
