Darkness ahead – the first ‘sound of the night’ in 2014 here on NOTHING BUT HOPE AND PASSION leads us deep into the sound of mysterious project FOREST SWORDS. Last summer producer Matthew Barnes and his alter ego released their new album Engravings, recently they premiered the haunting video for Thor’s Stone. Gloomy beats, dark mood and a visually impressive setting go hand in hand with this tune, providing the perfect material to drift into the night.
We follow a young protagonist whose mystical dance moves almost look like he’s possessed. Director Dave Ma really understood how to film the right images for the music of Barnes. If you’re not familiar with FOREST SWORDS yet feel invited to experience it right now.
