Italian symphonic metallers Secret Rule recently released a brand new video "Time Zero". The track is taken from their latest, ninth album, UNInVERSE, which was released in November 2023.
The band comments: "'Time Zero' is an anthem of resilience and rebirth. In a world teetering on the edge of chaos, the song urges you to rise, confront your inner demons, and ignite the fire within. As stars fall and darkness looms, remember that you are forged from the very essence of the cosmos. Embrace the storm of life, find strength in your struggles, and be reborn from the flames. This is your moment to shine, to become immortal, and to conquer the void. Join us on this epic journey of survival and renewal!" Link
