Italian groove metal band Noumenia have delivered the music video for their latest single “Black Ocean.”
The visual, which was directed by Steve Saints (Genus Ordinis Dei), can be seen here. Vocalist Vivian Black said this about the new single:
“Black Ocean” is a beautiful nightmare with a futuristic groove drowning and pounding like thunderheads caught in a flood in a canyon. Here, the multi-layered growl vocal is emblematically effective, as the higher pitch is our fear and folly and the lower ones, our darkness and malice. “With the video for Black Ocean we plunge into the abyss of our unconscious… into our shadow part, into a black-out of mental and emotional collapse.
The song speaks of the innermost desire to know that there can be someone to shake your hand to pull you out of this abyss, out of this black ocean. We chose scenes for the video that could represent this mood in a dreamlike way. Same goes for the choice to make the video in black and white. As for the lights we wanted to give the feeling of lightning, of the storm inside us.”
“Black Ocean” stems from Noumenia’s new studio album Echoes, which is out right now via Eclipse Records. The 10-track album was produced by Richard Meiz (Lacuna Coil, Genus Ordinis Dei).
