WATCH THE EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF THE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “TEMPORAL NIGHTMARE“ ONLY ON OUTBURN.COM
VIEWER WARNING! Discretion is advised as this video contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.
Nightborn explains, “Hallucinations do not belong only to the insane. ‘Temporal Nightmare’ is about strange sensations, sudden chills, instincts or feelings that we sometimes get, that feel so real – like seeing a doppelgänger, a shadowy figure, a feeling of a phantom that is not there, a slight movement in the mirror or having that familiar sensation of a presence that is near you even though you are alone in the dark. It can also be seen as an homage to night terrors or nightmares that we might go through in the night – stuck in a horrifying state between the world of dreams and conscious reality, unable to escape. A deeply embedded fear that might go all the way back to someone’s childhood – a primal fear. All of this boils down to the mysteries of the human mind which the song tries to explore and capture.”
For the video of “Temporal Nightmare” the band’s vocalist Arda got together with a very close friend and horror movie director Can Evrenol, who appeared in Cannes Festival recently. Their friendship goes back many years. Finding that his most infamous movie (Baskin – which happens to be the Arda’s favorite) contained certain visuals and moments that could be recut and rearranged in order to materialize the nightmarish world that the song describes; they started working on bringing it to life. The band and the director thought using these materials from a completely novel perspective would also re-explore and redefine the themes that are existent in his movies.
The video contains the exploration of an abandoned/derelict structure enveloped in darkness. As the viewer goes deeper in, more fears and nightmares are unleashed. It is a metaphor for an ominous journey that dives deeper into the darker corners of one’s mind. As we reach those darkest depths, there is no longer any hope for a way back and the strange creatures, demons, familiars, witches and pure evil takes over. The key to exit this hellish void seems to be buried in a place that can never be retrieved.
Nightborn will be releasing 3 videos in total from the Unhuman album this Summer, to familiarize and acquaint the listeners with their unique sound. The aim is to prepare the audiences for the September release of their upcoming EP titled Hammer of the Heretic featuring brand new material. The EP will be featuring Simon McKay (Agonist) on drums, Hubert Wiecek (Ex-Decapitated, Dieth) on the bass and producer Pavel Daniels will be on the edits, mixing and mastering duties.
