Witnesses, the cross-genre project of multi-instrumentalist Greg Schwan, has just released a lyric video for its haunting song "Cloistered In Purfleet". The track is from the upcoming EP, The Holy Water, set for release on 15 July, and it awaits you below.
Greg comments: "Cloistered In Purfleet is the complement to Borgo Pass, and it's my take on Stoker's Mina Harker character. This song pushes further into the atmospheric side of Witnesses, which was a goal for the EP overall. I hope you enjoy it".
Following the cinematic release IV, The Holy Water EP sees long-time collaborator Gabbi Coenen venture into the metal side of the project. Entranced into the music by emotive vocals, heavily distorted guitars and a blood-chilling atmosphere, Witnesses' iconic compositional style brings the gothic narrative to life. "Borgo Pass" delivers intensity with a dramatic feel, while "Cloistered In Purfleet" carries a quality - soft and sweet alongside its dark underbelly. Concluding with a fleeting acoustic guitar-driven piece, "The Ballad Of Lucy And Mina" is a beautiful performance of intricate melodies. It's a delicate and minimalist track, and yet encompasses such fierce energy.
Become immersed in the haunting expanse of soundscapes. With a creeping pace, the release conveys the instrumental layers and lyrics further into focus, entwining the barbaric and the sublime. Link
