Last week, Stratovarius released Survive, their first album in seven years. Today, the band follows with a dystopian video for Broken. Watch it below.
It’s a melodic metal song that represents a modern sound that Stratovarius has grown into. It’s also a brutally honest delineation about the hubris of mankind and what it may cause. For the video, the band joined forces with award-winning Argentinian director Mariano Biasin. He created a visually stunning and powerful contrast between a world that seems intact and an apocalyptic dénouement as a result of egoism, greed, and self-absorption.
“The song is about mankind, and how we obviously are far from perfect,” says Jens Johansson. “Technology can be a savior and it can be our doom. If we don’t make it, what then?”
