Dutch symphonic death metal group MaYaN have filmed a music video for the track ‘The Power Process’. Directed by Arno de Haas, the clip can be viewed below.
Speaking about the track, vocalist Marcela Bovio said: “We’re very excited to share with you our new video clip ‘The Power Process’! We had the pleasure of working again with Arno de Haas, who also directed the video clip of ‘Saints Don’t Die’. Can you guess who the story was inspired by?”
MaYaN issued third full-length studio album Dhyana on September 21st, 2018 through Nuclear Blast Records.
A crowdfunding campaign began in early 2018 to fund the recording of Dhyana with a live orchestra. More than €40,000 was raised, and so Dhyana was recorded with the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Crowdfunding campaign packages also included an exclusive EP named Undercurrent.
MaYaN mastermind Mark Jansen commented: “We have worked with all our energy, efforts and passion to create a remarkable album. Dhyana (which means the moment when the mind gets absorbed by the heart) makes us all very proud. With the support of our loyal fans worldwide we were able to record the album with the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Because of this and also producer Joost van den Broek’s know-how and enormous motivational drive we were able to meet the high standards of the best productions of today. It’s needless to say that we are extremely excited!”
Dhyana reflects on conceptual themes such as being self-aware of our thoughts and relinquishing our egos and self-conceited tendencies to finding out who we truly are.
