Alternative rock band Paraline have unveiled their new single "Icarus.”

An accompanying music video for the song, which can be seen below, was directed by Paraline vocalist Leo Andersen. Bassist Alex Shustoff said this about working on the visual:

"I could only describe the making of this video in three words… cold, unbelievably cold. For me personally, it was the hardest project we've ever done, but I'm damn happy with the result! When we were preparing the script for the video, I couldn’t imagine that the filming process would be as challenging as the story of Icarus and his father. On the day before, it snowed so much that it was impossible to drive to the location, even in an off-road vehicle specially prepared for the harsh winter! We essentially had to create a mile-long road with our own hands. As if that weren't enough, nature rewarded us with strong winds and extremely low temperatures. We managed to survive, but it was a real test of our physical abilities and our characters!”

Andersen said this about the video’s message:

“The story of Icarus is very interesting in itself. It is a multifaceted story about a dream, about the struggle for oneself, one's destiny and one's future, and about the sacrifices one has to make for it. We saw ourselves in this myth and that's how the song was born. You may see yourself in this story too, in which case we can only sympathize with you and hope that Icarus will support you and let you know that you are not the only one fighting for what you think is right. Despite the seriousness of its subject matter and its heavy sound - it's a very tender and even heartwarming song, and we really wanted the video to support that feeling and we believe we accomplished this!”

“Icarus” stems from Paraline’s forthcoming Sound Weapon EP, which will be released on March 1 via Eclipse Records. Pre-saves/pre-adds for the release can be made here.
