Hypno5e reveal mini-feature music video as album nears

Official press release:

French avant-garde metal outfit Hypno5e today presents their latest video, the moving "Slow Steams Of Darkness." The track appears on the band's stunning sixth studio album, Sheol, set for release on February 24th via Pelagic Records.

Once more, these four visionary musicians and cinematographers take us back to the lost shores of the Paleolithic Lake Tauca, where we dive deeper into its dark source to find vibrant visions of a memory both distant and hazy as well as warm and evocative. Sheol shows Hypno5e at the top of their game, revealing the epitome of their idiosyncratic sound while also exploring new and exciting aspects of their artistic identity.

Principal songwriter Emmanuel Jessua shared the following:

For the new album, I really wanted to explore the natural link between my music and its visualization. Film and video are key in the way I imagine my music, and I really see them going hand in hand. I've always created the music videos for HYPNO5E myself, but for Sheol, I wanted to dig deeper and really give full freedom to my visual creativity to build a totally new visual world for the album. So, this music video for 'Slow Steams Of Darkness' is built as part this global visual artwork around the album. Just like the previous video for 'Lava From The Sky,' it is a poetic visual interpretation of the song. I tried to build an abstract vision of the music, an introspection of the character that we follow from song to song, video to video, in a dark, lonesome space. This time, I wanted the music video to 'take its time,' maintaining a slow rhythm throughout the twelve minutes, to let the song and the visuals take us in a slow visual travel. 'Slow Steams Of Darkness' is the closing track from our new album Sheol, to be released next week, and the images were shot in France, Bolivia, and Armenia.
