The Wraith release new music video for ‘Wing of Night’

THE WRAITH have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Wing of Night, is taken from the band’s latest album, Gloom Ballet which was released at the end of November. The new music video was first premiered via Kerrang!.

The new music video was directed, shot, and edited by Alisa Akay, the Wing Of Night video’s concept juxtaposes imagery reflecting the song’s lyrical themes; the embrace of pain, struggle, darkness, and inevitable (yet not truly final) death – with footage of the band’s lauded live performance, centred around frenetic frontman/poet Davey Bales. The band filmed the video over two days in a historic haunted theatre in North Hollywood, just around the corner from producer Mat Mitchell’s studio where they recorded Gloom Ballet almost exactly a year prior.

The band was keen to work with director Alisa Akay because, as Mitchell’s fiancé, she was intimately familiar with their music. Alisa would often drop by the studio during the Gloom Ballet sessions, and she later worked on some of Davey’s poetry videos,” offers bassist Paul Rogers. “So, she really gets our sound and vibe, and we loved her vision for the video.”
