Filmed and edited by Karl Whinnery and directed by Jake Superchi with Evan Gandy serving as the co-director of photography, the video just emanates a coldness about it.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the track and video, the band had this lengthy piece to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cFollowing the first New Moon of the year, in the heart of the Wolf Moon cycle, it feels like an exceptional moment to present an unprecedented rendition from the UADA catalog.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo re-create something in such a radically different and unique way was nothing short of a challenge\u2014a challenge that had been calling for some time. One that demanded to be answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough the structural foundation of the piece was already in place, the execution itself unfolded as an impromptu session, allowing the natural essence to emerge freely and significantly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we may have had preconceptions about how the musical and vocal interpretation might sound leading up to its (re)creation, everything transformed in the moment of realization, embracing a liberated state of \u201ccome what may.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFolk music and art have always been a profound influence, and even though this piece was recorded two and a half years ago, the presence of folk elements in our lives and writing feels more prominent today than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThough we assume most may not fully grasp our necessity for this adaptation, we hope it will ignite a primal awakening within listeners\u2014to seek the ancient ways and venture into a past that feels increasingly forgotten in the current state of the world.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition to all that, UADA are also going to be co-headlining with Mortiis for a run of shows throughout North America dubbed the \u2018Witches of Dystopia\u2019 tour.
