Video Premiere: Dark Years from Now – Heaven and Hell Collide
Based in Vancouver BC, this sonically diverse act is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Dan Potter. Using heavy barrages of thrashing poly-rhythmic riffage to whip up intensity levels, Dark Years from Now descends into abstracted darkness and finds a sonic blueprint that’s filled with endless possibilities.
The debut album: The debut self-titled LP by Dark Years from Now was released in 2019. Whether through it’s the pulsating industrial metal edged aesthetic or the dense layers of electronic instrumentation, each track offers a world of intriguing sound and substance. Unafraid to take a non-linear approach, many of the songs are forged with abstract intent even using the words as yet another aural paintbrush, obscuring to reveal. Four of the eleven tracks are instrumental in nature providing more time for listeners in the churning abyss of variable perception. You can read our review here.
Now, Dark Years from Now return with a brand new song and video entitled ‘Heaven and Hell Collide’. Dan Potter had this to say about the video:
The video for ‘Heaven and Hell Collide’ is all about the timeless obsession mankind has with self-inflicted violence, insanity and ultimately self-annihilation. Images of man’s inhumanity towards man emerge out of the static to shock and disturb making us question our feelings of invincibility in the face of our savage mortality. Leaving the channel changer in the hands of Dark Years from Now also results in visions of barbarity on the fret-board as scenes of intense vocal and guitar performances tune in and out of the twisted broadcast like a wicked horror character tormenting his victims from afar.
