ENTERING POLARIS - The Tempest And The Sea (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Welcome to the official music video for the ENTERING POLARIS double-album ’Atlantean Shores’ and ’And Silently the Age Did Pass’ -- available @ Out JUNE 22nd 2023! Tom Tee: “The Tempest And The Sea is one of several epic tracks on the album(s), with an extended running time and many different sections. The numerous twists and turns throughout also serve as a metaphor, as this song is all about weathering storms – about the tempestuous and often capricious nature of the sea, of nature itself, and indeed of the human spirit. As the seas may be both beautiful and terrible, tranquil and turbulent, so it is with the heart of Man. For the video, I wanted to work with a younger and an older actor, the implication being that they may (or may not) be the same character; both facing and enduring the squalls that Time and Tide throw at us, yet with the elder, through hard-won experience, no longer daunted in confronting the storm. The recurring motifs of the Saint Christopher medallion, and of the lighthouse where the band is playing, serve as a reminder that no matter how fierce the gales that lash at us in life, there are always safe harbours to be found.” This song is the second promotional video single for this double-release, and features David Marcelis (THORIUM, LORD VOLTURE) on vocals. The epic Progressive Metal double-album, featuring 23 songs and 2 hours of music, will be released on 2 CDs and as a luxury 3-LP trifold package, with inlays featuring full artwork, lyrics and liner notes.
