London, England-based extreme metal group Akercocke have released an official lyric video for the track ‘Insentience’, which can be viewed below.
Frontman Jason Mendonca commented: “‘Insentience’ was a weird addition to Renaissance In Extremis. Most of the material for the album, Paul and I had written long, long ago. The music for ‘Insentience’ came to me while I was asleep. I woke up during the night on a number of occasions with riffs in my head. I then murmured the riffs into my cell phone (so as not to wake my neighbours) and went back to sleep. Hence the working title of the song was ‘Murmur’.
“When I transcribed these riffs from the phone to the guitar, I realised that they worked together and ‘Insentience’ was born. I guess the song wrote itself really.
“The lyrical content is particularly personal. The lyrics obliquely reference my past, the power of the amygdala, and the potential to return from the bleakest of places. It’s a song of hope really.”
Akercocke issued sixth full-length studio album Renaissance In Extremis on August 25th, 2017 through Peaceville Records.
Mixing was handled by Neil Kernon, with mastering overseen by Alan Douches at West West Side Music in New Windsor, New York.
