Vatican release new music video for ‘Decemeta’

VATICAN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Decemeta, is the brand new single from the band and follows on from the release of their double single, Become A New God, which was released back in April.

Speaking about the new song, vocalist Mike Sugars says, “this song is about how we as a people love to see other people fail. There are plenty of times where it’s maybe best that this person goes away, but we’re always watching to see who’s next. Always looking for the cracks in someone’s frame. I wanted to name the track based on how the song just makes me feel. I thought the song felt like a battle montage and landed on something like Decimation or something not great like that. Then I took inspiration from NieR: Automata and Metal Gear Rising and combined decimation with the mata thing. I just thought it looked and sounded cool.”

Drummer Josian Omar Soto-Ramos speaks of how the music video came together after linking up with friend Beyond Sahaj to create a 3D model of VR unit mech. “When that was finished, I thought about the song we were going to release and tying it into the track. The first thing that popped in my head was a visualiser of it fighting off enemies in Playstation 1 inspired style with a lot of explosions and flying. Specifically the Armored Core series immediately came to mind for this and made sense with the abrasive context of the song. Sahaj was super stoked on the idea and we started bouncing ideas back and forth. It was a lot of fun getting this idea made into a reality and it’s all thanks to him for doing a dope job.”
