The Australian industrial metal duo has just shared the video for their new single “WANT,” the opener for their album Systemic, which would be out tomorrow, as well as the schedule for their lives. Watch the official music video for “WANT” below.
The music video provides a stunning visual and audio experience, pairing a set of cathartic and enlightening notes with an ever-rotating video, constituting of forests, night sky with shadows of leaves, a symmetrical ceiling, and more, forming a dizzying and mesmerizing experience for the viewer.
The song would be the opener for their upcoming album Systemic, which would follow its predecessor Gas Lit, which enabled “Systemic … to express itself,” according to the artists. “The heaviness is really important,” Takiaya from Divide And Dissolve says, “It’s congruent with the message of the music, and the heaviness feels emblematic of this world’s situation.” She furthered their message in the album, adding that “This music is an acknowledgement of the dispossession that occurs due to colonial violence.” She points out that this form of violence “separate Indigenous people from their culture, their life force, their community and their traditions. The album is in direct opposition to this.” Below is the track list of Systemic.
Systemic track list:
- Want
- Blood Quantum
- Derail
- Simulacra
- Reproach
- Indignation
- Kingdom Of Fear (featuring Minori Sanchiz-Fung)
- Omnipotent
