‘THE GREAT UNKNOWN’ official video directed by Polygon1993 is out now.

POLYGON:
"The Great Unknown is an invitation for viewers to dive into a futuristic and gloomy world, where high-end buildings mix with gigantic holograms. Imagine this : no souls in sight, the only beams of light hitting the city are created by the advertisements hovering in the streets… until a group of people decide to hi-jack the city’s advertising system to share a message.
The concept of the video is to create a parallel between the state we’re all in at the moment and an ultra pessimistic vision of the world… It seems like there is no redemption nor glimmer of hope in this massive city, but even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. Through the prism of dystopia, we can envision the flaws in our societies and decide whether to prevent catastrophic events or endure everything, whatever it takes. For this video, I drew inspiration from many contemporary works and universes, such as Blade Runner or Evangelion; stories in which humanity is on the brink of collapse. The theme was self-evident as it echoed the song : “is this a new beginning or are we close to the end”. We’re looking for answers, should we keep following the masters hiding the truth, leading us to oblivion, or should we start looking for our own way? And this is precisely the meaning behind this video, sewing ideas into people’s minds. What they will do with these thoughts is only up to them. I’m really happy with the result of this video and I hope people will enjoy it.
It’s truly amazing working with the band and management for they’ve always been supportive of these kind of ideas and always been giving me total freedom regarding the direction and execution of what are at first silly lines on a notepad or badly drawn doodles. I’ll forever be thankful for all the opportunities the band have given me."
