My Favourite Nemesis release new music video for ‘Chimera’

MY FAVOURITE NEMESIS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Chimera, is taken from the Finnish modern metal band’s brand new EP, We Annihilate I, which was released on Friday.

Speaking about the new single, and the release of their new EP, the band says, “following the release of our second album, Eidolon, we had some demo tracks already on the works. Writing this time around was more straightforward and everyone in the band was more involved in the whole process.

Our newest single, Chimera, is one of the heaviest tracks we’ve made so far and it’s one of those songs that came together instantly. While being very heavy and aggressive, it still has kind of a rock ‘n roll groove to it. That’s why we chose it to be one of the singles, because that heaviness really stands out from the rest of the EP. The song is about redefining your personal values and realizing the person in the mirror is no longer someone you recognize. This really goes hand in hand with the dark and haunting atmosphere of the instrumentals.

It’s also one of the most fun songs to play and we can’t wait to play it live on our first UK shows with EXIST IMMORTAL. We’re also adding it to the set at Uprising Festival. We’re super pumped for these shows and we’re ready to show the good people in the UK what we’re really made of.

We didn’t deliberately go for any major changes in our sound, but this EP could be described as a natural evolution of the band. Every track delivers aggression and emotion more in your face than previously. Overall, the EP sounds more rough and less polished than our older releases. This was the first time Sanna (female vocals) was involved in the writing of the vocals and lyrics from the beginning. With that in mind, we wanted to focus more on writing clean vocal lines and melodies.

When it comes to writing lyrics, we wanted to write about subjects we all find important to talk about, such as war, greed, and mental issues. Both Janne’s and Sanna’s writing styles complement each other and come together nicely. What stands out the most on this release, is that the songs really feel like a punch in the gut, yet still have very melodic parts that you can sing along with. Also, the mix sounds massive, but maintains a clarity that allows the listener to hear all the details and dynamics. If you haven’t heard of us before, this EP is the perfect starting point, as we feel this is the strongest material yet. Every track delivers creative rhythmic and melodic groove and is sure to keep anyone hooked and come back for more.”
