As To Sail Black Waters,the debut full-length from Oakland, California’s six-piece progressive doom ensemble, SECRETS OF THE SKY, nears release early this Autumn, today the outfit unveils another colossal track from the expansive album through a new lyric video for „Sunrise.” Although it is the shortest of the four tracks the album bears, „Sunrise” still packs a nearly eight-minute surge of endlessly-expansive but utterly suffocating, slow-motion turmoil, its undertow pulling you into the unfathomable depths of your uncreation.
Stated SOTS guitarist/keyboardist Clayton Bartholomew of the track: „We are proud to be releasing the lyric video for the song ‘Sunrise.’ The video was put together by vocalist Garett Gazay, and he used imagery that he felt best conveyed his lyrical content and theme for the song. We think it turned out nicely and summarizes the metaphorical concepts laid out by the lyrics. Enjoy!”
