From Vicenza’s gothic heartland, A Tear Beyond return with a powerful new visual chapter: the music video for “Deliverance (Forgiveness Saga Pt. III)”, taken from their fourth album Afterthought, released in April 2025.
The Italian visionaries stage a performance steeped in atmosphere and theatrical flair, blending progressive and melodic gothic metal with commanding industrial textures and playful electro nuances. Their art thrives on contrasts — power and fragility, darkness and light — all channelled into a strong visual identity that elevates their music beyond genre boundaries.
The band explain the concept behind the video: “We wanted to bring to music and screen the emotional confusion of men and women alike when subjected to emotional forces as profound as the abyss. We wanted to analyze how an act of evil can only generate more evil, and how there is no possibility of putting anything in order without an immense effort aimed at Good. A long and difficult journey... in this case, in a fictionalized, secular way. We speak of profound love, recklessness, and madness. Of extreme hatred, confusion, delirium, depression, and loss of awareness and control. But also of renewed conviction... that with courage and humility, a path to freedom can be found!”
With Afterthought, A Tear Beyond mark a new evolution in their uncommon artistic journey. Their résumé already includes sharing the stage with heavyweights such as Nightwish, Moonspell, SepticFlesh, Dark Lunacy, Isole, and Fleshgod Apocalypse, cementing their reputation as one of Italy’s most ambitious gothic metal exports.
Visually, the band continue to blur the line between fantasy and reality, inviting audiences into sumptuous dreamscapes where music and imagery intertwine.
For fans of Moonspell, Rammstein, Nightwish, Lord Of The Lost, Katatonia, and Paradise Lost, A Tear Beyond’s "Deliverance" is a must‑see testament to the enduring power of gothic theatre in metal. Link
