London's progressive (extreme & atmospheric) metallers TALANAS have released new, Greg Barnes of ClingFilms-directed video for ‘Antiphon’, track taken from their upcoming debut album ‘The Waspkeeper’. “The song’s lyrics are about infatuation. In particular, the idea of a person (in this case a girl) sparking what she sees as a relatively tiny interest or fancy in someone through a fairly insignificant act and it then spiraling completely out of control. When writing the song, I was interested by the idea of what compels someone towards rape and how an unstable mind could convince itself that it was in some way justified or deserved. It’s essentially a song about cause & effect, an elaboration on the “she had it coming” excuse and the most miniscule of catalysts causing catastrophic obsession,” commented guitarist and vocalist Hal Sinden. The video features Liv Free.
“I came up with the term ‘Waspkeeper’ essentially in reference to myself and the way I tend to hold onto grudges, it’s like keeping an animal as a pet or companion that serves no purpose other than to kill or cause pain,” explained Sinden in an interview with South African Miroviamag.com.
