WATAIN 's new video "We Remain" is a visionary account of the band's manifestations

"How red and full of truth are not
the stories by the fires told?
Absorbed and passed on by every dreamer
Madly drunk from embers glow"


As previously announced through the band's official accounts, on March 31st WATAIN have premiered their new music video "We Remain", third final single before their album "The Agony & Ecstasy of WATAIN" is released on April 29th.

The video, directed by Johan Bååth, who was also behind WATAIN's "Opus Diaboli" and "Outlaw" music video, showcases a selection of clips and images that honours the band's history and its various manifestations throughout the years, since the very early, primal stages of the band, through live and guests members who have become part of WATAIN during the band's growth, such as their brothers Selim Lemouchi and Set Teitan; up until its more recent embodiment, with H.Death and E.Forcas of Degial fame.

"I began writing "We Remain" in 2012, as a meditation on the concept of Mythopoeia; our mythical origins and how our understanding and approach to them is shaped and transformed throughout time", comments Erik Danielsson on the band's official statement presenting the single. "The lyric is built around the five elemental wings of the Pentagram, and the mysteries embedded in that ancient symbol. It is a song about forgotten things that ought to be remembered, the search for truths that were lost, of the ever burning flame that illuminates the darkness of times immemorial, the passing of aeons and and our ponderable place therein."
