Swedish post-hardcore band Through The Noize have dropped the music video for their new single "Aktaion" today.

The visual, which can be seen below, was directed by frequent collaborator Tobias Ohlsson. Bassist Martin Lingonblad said this about working on the visual:

"We have worked with director Tobias Ohlsson many times now, and he somehow always makes our wild ideas work. He knows how to get us all to do our best for the benefit of the end result. He literally had us spend a whole day making it look like a parked car is moving in the night, with artificial rainfall and streetlights passing by in the background. It was a sight to see, with tarps and garden hoses and people rocking the car back and forth… it turned out great!"

Vocalist Jowl Nyberg also said:

"When we wrote Aktaion, we immediately felt that this song would be an easy decision to highlight for this release. In the video, a man escapes a dystopian world for his happy place in virtual reality, but things turn ugly. Since the song obviously was inspired by the Greek myth of Aktaion, there are some elements in the music video which relate to the story, but we'll let the fans make their own interpretation."

"Aktaion" stems from Through The Noise’s forthcoming EP Tragedies, which drops on January 21 via Eclipse Records. Pre-orders/pre-saves for the release can be made here. The band will unveil their sophomore studio album later next year.
