Wilderun release new music video for ‘Distraction I’

WILDERUN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Distraction I, is taken from the Boston-based progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, Epigone, which is scheduled to be released in January next year. For the new song’s accompanying music video, the band have unveiled an immersive 3D video directed by Miles Skarin and visuals inspired by the Epigone album cover artist Kim Keever.

Speaking about the new song, bassist Dan Müller says, Distraction I is the first movement in the four-part suite that closes the album. Musically, Distraction I is far more straightforward than a typical WILDERUN song and relies more heavily on atmosphere as a means of creating momentum throughout the track. It also is one of the more synth-heavy tracks on the record, utilizing dense tapestries of largely atonal sounds to develop a unique sonic space that is both surreal and expansive. It is the calm before the storm and the sign of things to come.”

Epigone is set for release on January 7th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
