Video od HIEMS

 

Italy's avant-garde, one-man black metal band, HIEMS, premieres music video for the title song of new album "Stranger in a Wasteland", due out September 8th on Agonia Records. The video was recorded in the city of Novara by Maurizio Del Piccolo of Moviedel Italia Productions, and is starring Alessandro "Algol" Comerio of HIEMS and Martina Tomasoni. Watch the video, here:

HIEMS was launched in 1996 by Italian songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Alessandro “Algol” Comerio. "Stranger in a Wasteland" marks his third outing and is the sound of an artist confident in his craft. Recorded during lock-down, the music captures the dismal feelings of alienation and detachment, and translates them into malevolent, minimalistic and non-canonical black metal, infused with dark hard rock and ominous grooves. In comparison with “Worship or Die” - the second and last installment from 2009 - "Stranger in a Wasteland" boasts a much clearer and refined production, which added a commanding character to the vocals, exposed the weight of the guitars, and sharpened the overall listening experience. The topic of death - closely followed by a sense of not belonging - is equally present in the musical and lyrical layer of the album.
