Check out Your Inland Empire’s intense, dystopian video for Edge Of Perfection

If, as Randy Blythe posits in today's Kerrang! Cover Story, it's the job of an artist to reflect the times in which they're living, then Your Inland Empire have fully understood the assignment in their new video for Edge Of Perfection.

Featuring all manner of bleak, apocalyptic visuals as the band play on, the clip is as uncomfortable as it is intense. The song, taken from last year's self-titled debut album, is “about power devouring humanity, about leaders who abandon their own people and push them into the margins,” according to frontman Stéphane Azam

“It reflects the raw cruelty humans are capable of, how easily empathy collapses, how suffering becomes invisible. This song stands for those erased, forgotten, and left to rot at the edge of a world pretending to be perfect.”
