Manchester prog duo The Blackheart Orchestra return to action by sharing their striking new video The Tide, which you can watch the new video in full below.
The Tide is taken from the band's upcoming album Hotel Utopia, which will be released through Ceandar Records on September 23.
While 2019'2 Mesmeranto was based on the concept of death, inspired by singer Chrissy Mostyn’s mother who was nearing the end of her life, Hotel Utopia takes a musical look at the afterlife. The Tide specifically deals with her mother’s passing and the impact the subsequent grief had on her body and spirit.
"Hotel Utopia is 13 songs about the afterlife," Mostyn explains. "It holds the listener’s hand along a musical journey that meditates on our fears and fantasies of ‘heaven’ stopping off en route at murder, suicide, the end of the world and reincarnation. Hotel Utopia is an audio movie for the listener’s mind, emotions and imagination."
The Blackheart Orchestra have previously released a video for Under The Headlights.
The album will be supported by an 18 date tour of the UK. You can see the dates, album artwork and tracklisting below.
