Prognosis release new music video for ‘Dark Waters’

PROGNOSIS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Dark Waters, is the brand new single from the Manchester-based progressive metal band and comes as the band unveil their new lineup. Founding members Danny Daemon [bass/vocals] and Phil Weller [guitars/vocals] are now joined by guitarist Lewin Cantor and drummer Yan Akoya. The release of the new single follows on from PROGNOSIS‘ last single, Into The Grey, which we premiered back in August.

Speaking about the new single, guitarist/vocalist Phil Weller says, 2020 was a shock to the system for every band, but amidst all of this pandemic, changing half of our lineup was something none of us expected. Ultimately though I think the shake up has done us the world of good. We feel revitalised; it felt like the stars aligned for us with Yan and Lewin joining the band. They’re exceptional talents and we feel pretty invincible right now!

Lewin and Yan have brought in a fresh energy to the band and there’s more clarity to what we want from the band now; there’s harmony between what we as individuals are bringing to the table and where we, collectively, want to go with our music. With changing our line up, we wanted this new song to reflect how our sound is changing, putting an extra emphasis on the strengths of Lewin and Yan and their styles. We wanted to come back with a bang to and to show that we’re now stronger than ever.

Lyrically, the song talks about dealing with and reflecting on everything we’ve been through in 2020. The overarching message is one of rebirth; coming through hard times – rising out of dark waters – with a greater strength and self-confidence having survived the experience. And away from the band, we feel it’s something everyone can relate to as we enter the final weeks of a really dire year. We are all emerging from out of dark waters right now. Behind the scenes we’re using Dark Waters as the cornerstone to our second album, which we are deep into writing. And of course we’ll be back playing shows when the time comes. We miss live music and we miss our fans, but we’re incredibly excited for the future of this band.”
