Taiwanese Death Metal Act CHTHONIC Premiere “Endless Aeons” Music Video

Taiwanese death metal veterans CHTHONIC have released their brand new single, “Endless Aeons,” today, April 28th. Accompanying the track is a music video directed by Birdy Wei-Ting Hung, which you can check out below.

Vocalist Freddy Lim shared the inspiration behind the new material, stating:

“CHTHONIC’s music is always about reincarnation and catastrophe – it’s very religious. In the past, our works told Taiwan’s ever-reincarnating catastrophes. When I discovered that actually someone close in my family is a victim of one of these catastrophes, it became personal, and started writing ‘Endless Aeons’ and other songs. When will these catastrophes be over? If we could start our lives all over again, would it be possible for us to be without remorse? This song is a question, and the answer.”

Guitarist/vocalist Jesse Liu, who co-wrote the track, added:

“This is a song that sounds complicated, but actually simplistic. Answering a complicated question with simple words, this is how the song is supposed to be.”

The video for “Endless Aeons” continues the narrative set forth in several of the band’s previous music videos. An official press release describes its concept as follows:

“Characters in the new song are victims of the 228 Uprising and Massacre in 1947 who fell into infernal reincarnation. Through the song ‘Endless Aeons,’ they are reborn again, but fall through the tunnel of time into a CHTHONIC concert, a development that signifies interruption of the reincarnation.”
