Gaerea Mesmerize the Land of the Rising Sun in Their “Coma” Music Video
With just days 10 days standing in the way of their North American tour with Zeal & Ardor and ZETRA, Portuguese extreme metal outfit Gaerea dropped a music video for the title track of their latest album Coma. And if you haven’t listened to what they’re doing these days, you really ought to.
Noted by the band as one of the new album’s heavier songs, “Coma” hits hard right out of the gate and pulses with a groove that should make most black metal/extreme metal fans excited. The band’s vocalist had this to say about the title track while chatting with Apple Music:
“This is the song that explains the whole record, basically. I was thinking about how to write a song about someone in a coma, but they’re still conscious of it. Because if there’s no consciousness, there won’t be a song. So, this is a bit like waking up in a dark room and seeing the whole word around you, but you can’t really figure out if it’s reality, if it’s memories, if it’s your imagination, or just your lost dreams in life. It deals with that anxiety of trying to figure out if you’re really here or not, or if this is the afterlife – and whatever the afterlife might look like.”
Gaerea’s upcoming North American tour will kick off on November 23 in Philadelphia and comes to an end on December 18 in Dallas, Texas. You can find the full list of dates, with links to buy your tickets, down below.
