Dublin, Ireland-based Pagan metal legends PRIMORDIAL today unveil their video for “Nothing New Under The Sun.” The track comes by way of the band’s acclaimed How It Ends full-length, released last Fall via Metal Blade Records.
Comments vocalist A. A. Nemtheanga, “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, The Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.”
The “Nothing New Under The Sun” video comes in advance of PRIMORDIAL‘s upcoming European festival run. The journey begins Friday, July 19th, at Rock Unter Eichen and includes stops at some of Europe’s most prestigious festivals including Wacken Open Air, Brutal Assault, and many more.

How It Ends serves as the follow-up to 2018’s Exile Amongst The Ruins and finds PRIMORDIAL delivering more of their seminal blend of Celtic and black metal, with added urgency staring down the apocalypse. “The title is a question – ‘is this how it ends? How it all goes down: culture, language, history, society, humanity…’ – who knows?,” considers Nemtheanga. “Regardless of who you are or were, you get one chance at all of this, and it’s asking, ‘is this the end of your town, state, nation? Myths, traditions, relationships…?,’ and I suppose it asks the question, ‘who reacts, who rebels – how does it end now for them?‘”
