Prog-Metal hybrid group TEMIC’s debut album, Terror Management Theory, is out now, and they have released a scenic new video for “Through the Sands of Time”, the 7-minute opener from Terror Management Theory, which was filmed in Iceland.

TEMIC says:

Our drummer, Simen Sandnes, produced this music video in Iceland, exploring a visually aesthetic interpretation of “Through the Sands of Time”. The chorus encourages the listener to let go of their past, to ‘burn it all’ in order to ‘fly high’ and ‘breathe life’. This contrasts with the melancholic nature of the verses, which reflect on the past and question the present: ‘What is true?’ Sometimes, we spend so much time regretting and reassessing that we forget the hourglass of our lives is constantly running.

We hope you are all enjoying TMT. We are all absolutely astounded by the response we’ve received!

Diego Tejeida and Eric Gilette first got the idea to start a band together when they were touring members of Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress.

The two wanted to “synthesize their love for high-energy electronica and flashy riffs into a killer prog-metal hybrid.” But after recruiting drummer Simen Sandnes (SHINING, Arkentype) and singer Fredrik Bergersen (Maraton), they felt they reached those goals with their first album.
