Cut using footage from 2001: A Space Odyssey, metal explorers The Ever Living are pleased to unveil the video for track “Geometric Sleep” (watch below).
Vocalist and keyboardist Chris explains the decision: “We are living in a remix culture and the tried and tested formula for music videos is stale. A video should service the music, not massage the ego. Audiences these days aren’t sat in front of a television watching what one music channel puts in front of them all day, but instead making their own selections and listening on YouTube while viewing multiple tabs; which means bands can experiment and take risks. A beautifully shot film from the 60’s that’s set in the future perfectly fits the retro-futuristic sound of the track.”
Geometric Sleep appears on the bands recently released, self-titled, debut EP. “It was designed to show different sides of the band but to also be fairly straightforward for a first release. We didn’t want there to be any fat on the songs and it doesn’t let up much. It’s a good taster of what’s to come,” declares Chris. “The inception of our band was a written manifesto, the contents of which essentially boiled down to one word: intensity,” continues guitarist Andrei; “As we developed our sound we realised we wanted to be a heavy band, but not necessarily a “metal” band in the traditional sense and we have evolved deliberately with that in mind.”
