Messenger premiere psychedelic new video for ‘Dear Departure’ with The Independent

Watch ‘Dear Departure’ below

Acclaimed Svart Records’ signings Messenger today reveal a video for their track Dear Departure. Taken from the album ‘Illusory Blues’, released in March, the video precedes the band’s forthcoming European / UK tour with Swedish band Katatonia. The band comment;

“Musically, the song tries to convey a natural event of great magnitude; like an earthquake or a storm… a display of the sheer force of nature at its most merciless. It’s also a reminder to the self to strive for inner calm after a storm, figuratively speaking. The video uses masking and compositing techniques to show the secret worlds that exist inside our thoughts and dreams; a utopia of sorts and a glimpse into the realms that exist before birth, during life and after death”

Messenger came together at Orgone Studios, with drummer and producer Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Ulver Cathedral) helping to mould their sound.
