Polyphia have released their new video for their song, Nightmares which is off their full length album, Renaissance. Tim Henson explains about the song and video,
“Our new track “Nightmare” is the first 8-string piece we’ve written. The video tells the story of a ballerina practicing for perfection. Her deranged instructor appears only to make her do it over and over again. She keeps practicing the routine until her feet bleed, and she throws up blood. At the end, she thinks she finally got it perfect, but her instructor has had enough and decides to strangle her out of nowhere. As soon as he makes contact with her, she wakes up to realize that she was only having a nightmare.”
Check out the video here:
“Nightmare” comes from their sophomore full-length Renaissance, which will be released on March 11. The Dallas, TX-based instrumental outfit also recently premiered music videos for “Euphoria” and “Crush”, which have already garnered nearly half a million views combined. The videos can be seen HERE.
Renaissance can be pre-ordered now via polyphia.merchnow.com and through digital retailers such as iTunes. All pre-orders include an instant digital download of “Euphoria”, “Crush” and “Nightmare”. The first pressing of vinyl for Renaissance is limited to 1000, with two color variants: 500 of black with white splatter [pre-order / retail exclusive] and 500 of white with black splatter [tour exclusive].
The album was recorded with Nick Sampson (Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men) who co-produced it with Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage. Renaissance introduces a new conceptual and artistic direction for the trio’s sound, vibe and visual aesthetic, that sees the band embracing their eclectic musical tastes (which include EDM, hip hop, pop and classical music) to create their own innovative blend of technical, yet melodic instrumental arrangements.
Polyphia recently wrapped up a full US tour with August Burns Red, Every Time I Die, Stick To Your Guns and Wage War, and will next head out on a full US run with CHON and Strawberry Girls.
