The countdown to the release of the highly anticipated album “Awakening” has begun, with TELMA offering a taste of the record through their new music video for the song “Belly of the Beast.” A track packed with emotional intensity, it delves into themes of control, entrapment, and the loss of individuality.

Here’s TELMA’s official press release:

As we approach March 1, 2025, and the release of “Awakening”, TELMA present the video for their second single. “Belly of the Beast” adds a new dimension to what this album represents and how each listener can find pieces of themselves within it.

“Belly of the Beast” is a haunting and intense exploration of control, entrapment, and the loss of individuality. Through the chains of the mind, the lifeless puppet, and suffocation, the song plunges into the despair of being manipulated, encapsulating a sense of helplessness and resignation in the clutches of an oppressive force—the Beast.
