At The Gates Release New Animated Video For “The Night Eternal”
18th November 2015At The Gates have released a new animated video for their track “The Night Eternal”. Costin Chioreanu directed the clip, having also done the artwork for the band’s latest album “At War With Reality”.
Frontman Tomas Lindberg commented:
“‘The Night Eternal‘ is one of the absolute strongest and also emotionally challenging songs on the new record. It is a personal favourite and always gives us an enormous touching feedback when we play it live. Therefore it was a no-brainer for us to choose this song when Costin approached us about the idea of another animated video. This time he has, once again, stunned us with his amazing efforts to portray the emotional aspects of the music and lyrics of our songs. His interpretation of our material has always inspired us to rethink and re-evaluate our own creations, and therefore something new comes out of the project every time he is involved.”
Chioreanu also added:
“The story of “The Night Eternal” speaks about the dark side of human nature and about the tragedy of living now, in a moment when any possible tool for hiding it becomes futile. The Night Eternal is in us, The Night Eternal is what we became, guiding our spiritual evolution using a wrong map, provided by a wrong society. The victim remains lost in a dream of constant need without any perspective of fulfillment.”
