Colourful UK prog rockers Henge have shared a 3D animated music video for their brand new single, Ascending, created by filmmaker and visual artist Antony Barkworth-Knight.

The new single is taken from the band's upcoming fourth album Journey To Voltus B, which the band will release on January 31, a date which marks the tenth anniversary of Henge's first-ever live performance.

“With this new single Ascending we are setting the scene for our latest adventure into space," explains frontman Zpor of the new single. "As we blast off from Earth, it becomes clear that YOU, the listener, are among our crew for this high-stakes voyage, where the fate of an entire planet is literally in your hands.”

The hardworking band are currently on the road and have also announced further tour dates for March, April and May next year.

Henge have previously released debut album Attention Earth! which was released in 2018, 2020’s ExoKosm and 2023’s Alpha Test 4. The band has gone from performing in front of around 100 people at their very first show in Salford, Greater Manchester, to headlining Shambala Festival in 2024 to a crowd of thousands.
