Earthside Reveal stunning  official video for the epic “We Who Lament” ft. Keturah, taken From ‘Let The Truth Speak’ – Out Now via Via Music Theories Recordings / Mascot Label Group

Today, cinematic rockers Earthside have presented a new music video for “We Who Lament.”  You can watch the video HERE.

Later this week, they hit the road for a tour that will take them across the U.S. appearing at ProgPower USA in Atlanta on 5 September and then with Soen from 7-17 September followed by a runwith Leprous from 18 September to 5 October. A complete itinerary follows below.
 
The new music video was created in Unreal Engine by director Tom Flynn, It features Canadian guest vocalist Keturah. The band shares, “From the beginning, we always wanted to be able to show the force of nature that is Keturah in all of her fiery glory on ‘We Who Lament,’ but circumstances at the time of release made it difficult to coordinate including her in a video. With the way the song has taken off for us, and become a staple of our live show, we felt the time was right to make good on this collaboration and finally create a special performance video with Keturah bringing it in full force alongside us. Tom Flynn, who has been a video collaborator with Earthside for a few years now, did an incredible job creating immersive and spellbinding worlds for the video that perfectly suit the power and majesty of the song. We hope you enjoy it.”
 
The tour supports their latest studio album ‘Let the Truth Speak.’ Baard Kolstad from Leprous appears on the release, alongside cameos from Tesseract’s Daniel Tompkins and Fire From The Gods’ AJ Channer. At the time of release,

Earthside previously presented an epic video for Let the Truth Speak featuring Tompkins and Gennady Tkachenko-Papizh and “Pattern of Rebirth” ft. AJ Channer (Fire From The Gods).
 
Timed to the tour announcement, the band shared a visualizer for Watching the Earth Sink. At the time, Ben Shanbrom offered, “Immerse yourself in the visual world of ‘Watching The Earth Sink’— the instrumental centerpiece of Earthside’s latest album “Let The Truth Speak” and a staple of their powerful live multimedia experience. Through the captivating visuals of Riivata and the eerie calm and thunderous climaxes of the track, the collective experience in wordless clarity tells an immediately gripping story of escapism, despair, and fevered excitement in the face of world-leveling disaster—a tale that is all too human in its reality. We are excited to share this special window into the Earthside live show with you in anticipation of our 2024 North American tour this fall with Soen and Leprous.”
 
Eight long years removed from their critically show-stopping entrance – A Dream in Static [2015] – the idealistic thinkers and feelers in Earthside found themselves in a different world entirely … or, perhaps, a world more honest and unhinged than they and many others had bargained for. “This album almost destroyed our lives and friendships,” keyboardist and co-orchestrator Frank Sacramone confides. “It’s insanity, but it is beautiful.”
 
 “A Dream In Static was more of an *I* album,” reflects guitarist and orchestrator Jamie van Dyck. “Each of us in our own way was engaging topics of self-actualization and the fear of never quite becoming. Let The Truth Speak, however, turns its focus to the *We*. Within months of releasing ADIS, the global landscape had changed to where issues of far more consequence than our own individual dreams coming true were tugging at us. We became far more consumed with the trajectory of humanity as a whole than our own legacies therein.”
 
The video for “All We Ever Knew And Ever Loved”, featuring Baard Kolstad [Leprous], won the award for Best Music Video at the United Artist International Film Festival and was selected to be screened at a number of other events which included Horrorcon UK, UAIFF, Dam Short Film Festival, Animiest, Rhode Island International film festival and more.
