Black Peaks have released a video for the track Fate I, taken from our recent Album Of The Week, All That Divides.
The video was shot on tour in the UK and Europe, with direction and editing by photographer Sam Lees.
"The song was inspired by some ‘people watching’," explains frontman Will Gardner, "and observing examples of humanity's lack of empathy, and self-obsession, especially in terms of how we treat the environment. Digging deeper, the song questions whether we are at a turning point where we can change our mindset and realise that we, as humans, don’t ‘own’ the world. Much like a lot of the album, we we’re keen to create a bit of a ‘journey’, and while the song comes from a place of sadness and anger, the chorus also has a undertone of hope and optimism."
Check out the video below.
