Pleiades release new music video for ‘Siberian’

PLEIADES have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Siberian, is the brand new single from the Manchester-based post-hardcore band and follows on from previous singles, LoomingStomach, and Pale Soul ’94, which were released over the past three years.

The new single was produced by Joe Clayton [PIJN, LEECHED] and reflects the story of Alexander I, a Russian emperor in the 1800s alleged to have faked his own death to live a life of isolation and solitude.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist Andrew Calderbank says, “…after a lot of reading during 2020 I came across the story of Alexander I of Russia and a rumor that he faked his own death to live as a hermit. It served as a vehicle for my narrative of giving up everything in search of solitude and that no amount of wealth was enough. Whether it was because of the pressure of titles or the guilt of living in such privilege while others suffer we’ll never know. We’ll never be sure it’s even true but itself serves as a strong metaphor for a desire for anonymity.”
