Vienna (Austria) based industrial/post-rock veterans Phal:Angst reveal their latest video for “What A Time To Be Alive”. The track comes by way of the band’s fifth full-length, Whiteout, out now on Noise Appeal Records. Contrary to the band’s signature depressive vibe, the message may very well be: between birth and death there is life, and this can and should be enjoyed as best as possible.
“What A Time To Be Alive” is the final track on Whiteout. The track’s last and repetitive line, “So also ist das Sterben” (So this is what it’s like to die), carries its listener beyond the realm of the living on a crescendo of noise and harmony and sums up the cerebral magic of Phal:Angst’s sonic sphere.
The video was created by the band’s bass player. The work is again an interpretation of a possible journey of life itself. Towards the end, this journey becomes more and more exhausting, the cycle begins to close; it’s a sign(al) of life gradually weakening and eventually lost in the noise and is also a subtle homage to Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s legendary graphic novel Signal To Noise.
