Italian melodic symphonic power metallers Moonlight Haze has released a video for the song ‘Animus‘ – first single and videoclip taken from the namesake album, set to be released on March 18th.
“We chose the titletrack as the first single because it best represents the record’s essence. A mix of symphonic, power and epic elements, and a choice of words that encourages you to work hard and never give up. ‘Animus’ takes on the nuances of the Latin word of courage and willpower. Quoting Ovid (just as the song itself): ‘ANIMUS TAMEN OMNIA VINCIT’.”
Chiara Tricarico, frontwoman & lyricist
“While we were thinking about the meaning of the song, the analogy with a sport was the first idea that sprung to mind. Therefore, we decided to involve Nicholas Visintin – an athlete of the Italian parkour national team. We’ve been listening to the song together, surprised at how much its message matched the ethics of this sport perfectly: having a goal, overcoming obstacles and often falling and getting hurt, but always struggling to get up and fight till the end.”
Marco Falanga, guitarist and co-director of the video with Beatrice Demori
