Sludge/Death Metallers HALFLIGHTED, have unveiled a lyric video for new single “This Winding Path”, taken from their upcoming album, “Obloquy”, which is set to be released on June 2nd via Wormholedeath worldwide.
The song features the words of Virgil’s Aeneid, “Whence is this sudden sheen of weather?”, which explores the human experience of facing unexpected and uncertain situations, and struggling to find meaning and purpose in the face of adversity. Through the track, HALFLIGHTED brings to light the vulnerability and fragility of human beliefs and faith, and the ways in which they can be both empowering and deceptive.
“Obloquy” combines Gothic undertones, Death Metal forces, Progressive tints, classic Rock drumming, a fair amount of Psychedelia, and many other hidden influences. The exact genre of this uncompromising soundscape is left up to the listener to decide. Sung in English, Catalan and German, the lyrics of the album explore themes of war, inner struggles, and despair through various points of view.
The new lyric video for “This Winding Path” is a powerful visual representation of the song’s message, crafted by the talented team at Volume Agency.
