Syberia release new music video for ‘Empire Of Oppression’

SYBERIA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Empire Of Oppression, is taken from the Barcelona-based instrumental rock band’s upcoming new album Seeds of Change which is scheduled to be released in October.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “we have always liked combining elements like darkness, fragility and strength. The contrasts they create are a core part of our lives and they become very apparent in our music. If we had to describe it, we’d say this is a dark, delicate and powerful record. However, it’s full of smoother passages which make it dynamic.”

Watch the official music video for Empire Of Oppression here: 

Though lacking lyrics, Seeds Of Change tells a story regardless, which is encapsulated in the title, its narrative centred on an individual trying to escape from the masses and the dark side of society. “He is someone who is struggling to maintain his individuality, perhaps to protect his imagination in this grey reality we live in. So we pictured this person as trying to keep his colorful inner world alive, but he is chased by a group of faceless people with a beehive mentality who aim to turn him into one of their own – a black and white, dull copy of a human being. We imagined our hero as the last remaining seed for a change for the better in the world – somebody that will fight until his last breath to change the establishment in one way or another. While there is one seed out there, there is hope that something beautiful can still grow.”
