Following the release of their album \u201cLiminal Spaces,<\/strong>\u201d Italian progressive metal act\u00a0Beriedir<\/strong>\u00a0unveil the official music video for \u201cAs Tight As Phantoms Hold<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n First introduced live in 2024,\u00a0\u201c<\/em>As Tight As Phantoms Hold<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0quickly became one of the band\u2019s most energetic and impactful songs to perform on stage. Musically, the track blends tight rhythms, ambient sections, electronic drum passages, and crushing breakdowns, embodying\u00a0Beriedir<\/strong>\u2019s ability to merge atmosphere with sheer intensity. Lyrically, it portrays the image of an anonymous guard stationed in a desolate outpost and condemned to fleeting encounters with nameless passersby, a metaphor for loneliness, transience, and betrayal.<\/p>\n \u201cAn isolated box, a guardhouse at the entrance of a parking lot. Cars come and go, strangers pass by, some of them wave. Nameless, every day, no one meant to stay. That\u2019s what some of us feel like. A keeper of nothing, only meeting ghosts. The only connection afforded was that of a stab in the back.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The band comments:<\/p>\n \u201cThis song stands out as one of the most energizing to bring on stage. We wanted to push variety in composition, mixing ambient layers, electronic touches, and breakdowns to create something that constantly shifts in intensity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The official video visually translates this restless duality, amplifying both the haunting isolation and explosive release at the heart of the track.<\/p>\n With\u00a0\u201c<\/em>Liminal Spaces<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>,\u00a0Beriedir<\/strong>\u00a0continues their stylistic evolution, moving further from their power metal roots toward a darker and more progressive identity. The record explores trauma, nostalgia, longing, and emotional fragmentation, offering an immersive experience that resonates with anyone navigating moments of solitude and transition.<\/p>\n Now fully embracing a modern progressive and alternative metal aesthetic,\u00a0Beriedir<\/strong>\u2019s sound invites comparison to\u00a0Pain of Salvation, Leprous, Katatonia, Gojira, Trivium,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Dark Tranquillity<\/em>.\u00a0Mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio<\/strong>,\u00a0\u201c<\/em>Liminal Spaces<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0combines sonic depth with lyrical weight, marking a bold new chapter in the band\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n
