(Rockum) - Cinematic progressive metal quintet DISCONNECTED SOULS invite you to join them for high tea with a twist. "Monachopsis (A Waltz at the End of the World)" is one of DISCONNECTED SOULS's most genre extravagant tracks to date, incorporating jazz elements along with harp, organ and dynamic vocal lines. Filmed in the grandiose setting of a historical Welsh estate, this dystopian narrative reveals that not all surface level appearances should be believed.
"Monachopsis (A Waltz at the End of the World)", taken from the band's debut album Fragments of Consciousness, lands in conjunction with the album's instrumentals, and the arrival of FOC on CD format today and available to purchase from Layered Reality Productions.
Felix King comments on "Monachopsis (A Waltz at the End of the World):
"'Monachopsis' is a theatrical venture into the pre-apocalypse. We join our protagonists as they dance and drink at the last hurrah- enjoy the spoils of civilisation, you can't take it with you."
We hope you have fun watching it as we did getting to make it. Thanks as ever to the friends and professionals who made this possible."
About DISCONNECTED SOULS:
DISCONNECTED SOULS emerged in 2018 out of a desire to incorporate and blend the three great pillars of music, electronic, classical and metal. Following their debut EP Warring Elements in 2020, the band have since been releasing a diverse array of singles, leading up to the debut album. The quintet based out of Chester, England, strive to create a distinctive sound that draws upon the depths of metal, while playing with tones and textures. Each member brings a diverse range of musical interests to the table and the resulting sound encompasses a wide variety of instrumental and vocal styles. DISCONNECTED SOULS take their name from the growing disconnect between humans; both from each other but also within ourselves, as well as the increasing rift with the natural world.
