Aussie Melodic Death Metal Force Orpheus Omega Blazes a Trail with New Video "Star Maps"
Aussie melodic death metal titans, Orpheus Omega, are back to leave you breathless with the music video's release for their soul-crushing track, "Star Maps." Taken from their critically acclaimed album, Emberglow (out now via Wormholedeath), the "Star Maps" video is a poignant exploration of isolation, regret, and the desperate hope for redemption.
“Star Maps is an expression of stoicism and its effects on one's self-image. When moments in life have taken hold and feel overwhelming, emotionally removing one's self by pushing compassion away can be a coping mechanism. This is a journey of one performing such stoicism, defining their life and the path they've taken. " said, Leon. "Musically it contains some of the most emotive moments of the album Emberglow, using atmosphere and long melodic passages to represent the repressed emotion given within the lyrics. Every time the chorus explodes, the emotions held back by the storyteller are kicking against its cage showing how poorly holding back such emotions can be. The bridge pulling back represents a full shift into one's internal control, where the storyteller truly loses their sense of self and can no longer recognize the individual. "
