Post-apocalyptic instrumental rock quartet Noorvik has unveiled the second single/video taken from its upcoming album Hamartia, which will be out on 22 April via Tonzonen Records. Check on the heavy post-apocalyptic vibe's "Tartaros" video in the player below.
Noorvik comments: "With the second single 'Tartaros' closes the new album Hamartia and sends the listener into the deepest underworld. After Tantalos has upset it with the gods, his arrogance plunges him into Tartaros, the deepest level of Hades, where he must endure eternal torment. 'Tartaros' thus gives a foretaste of the end of the story told on Hamartia, which began with the first single 'Tantalos'".
Noorvik with its new lineup dives into the fiery realm of Greek mythology on Hamartia. The story of Tantalus is the focus of an epic musical journey: almost seventy minutes of progressive instrumental music in which a king realizes the consequences of his arrogant actions and, in the end, falls from his throne to a special level of the underworld, Tartarus. Hamartia metaphorically tells of how man's greed and arrogance sow the seeds of his own downfall. Narcissism and egotism outshine the pristine beauty of the world and the innocence of its inhabitants. Tantalus is emblematic of our modern society in that while we live in technological splendour, we will eventually reap the inevitable consequence of our actions. But Noorvik also reflects the desperation and hope of a generation on Hamartia, wanting change and not tolerating the current situation. It becomes clear that the ancient myth of Tantalus is still relevant today. Link
