Progressive metalcore head-turners Invent Animate have announced their new album, Heavener. To celebrate the good news, the band also shared the video for “Immolation of Night.”
“While searching for inspiration to write this song, I had grown tired of recounting past trauma and things that have hurt me and still affect me,” says drummer Trey Celaya. “It was making me feel powerless, and I wanted to take that power back and approach from a different angle.”
“This song was born of a realization that all of my suffering has actually made me incredibly resilient and grounded, and I am not the weak person that I sometimes feel that I am. In reality, I have a certain confidence in life that I wouldn’t have if not for my losses and failures. They’ve given me a lot of good characteristics and shaped me into who I am today, and it’s a person I’m proud of.”
And thus, “Immolation of Night” was born. The song boasts stadium-sized, foundation-shaking breakdowns with a twist.
The video finds the protagonist entangled in unsettling distress, while the band delivers a back-breaking performance in an eerily monochromatic ensemble.
Mark your calendars for the full album, arriving March 17 via UNFD and now available for pre-order.
