Jason Payne reveals more details on the video:
“Writing this song was an absolute challenge and I’m very proud and happy with its outcome. We’re just 2 weeks away from the release and I’m super excited to show all my fans what we managed to accomplish. I believe this is the best work we’ve done so far, and our mentality is to be better every time at everything we set our minds to. We worked for a long time on this track and on the Ep and now it’s the right time to release our music. Save the date: 4th June 2021.”

Just recently the band revealed first details of their upcoming 6-tracks EP, entitled “The Abyss”, coming out soon.
Read what Jason has to say:
“The Dark is a song that sums up the theme of this EP, “The Abyss”. It’s about death, obscurity and the “nothing”. It talks of things like trying to reach to the void, feeling confused and betrayed, and about a person that’s losing his essence. Without a consciousness, and with no purpose in our lives, we’re just a bunch of roamers taking a road to the abyss, and that leads us to the dark and lashes us to insignificant beings floating in “the nothing”.
When I was writing this EP, I got affected by the outside world. It’s a dark period that we’re living. I caught the essence and the feelings that this time put me through and made a whole EP about existentialism and nihilism. This period made me question who am I, what’s my purpose, what have I done with my life and what if this all ends now? Would it matter? Do we matter? Does life matters? Of course, it does! In my opinion, there’s no point of doing anything or living if this doesn’t matter. However, when I wrote this EP, I don’t give you the bright side of the story. That’s for the fans to find out. My whole point with this work is to make people question their lives and feel these emotions. This record means so much to me, since it’s about everything I felt and still feel. I’m a person who never stops asking questions. I always want to know more. Specially, when it comes to existentialism, I’m always in internal conflict, since I question everything. This is my message, this is my music and it’s about how I feel, and hopefully, people will relate to it.”
Stay tuned for more details.
