Esperfall premiere new music video Plato's Cave

Nora (vocals) on the meaning behind the song:
The theory itself called ‘Plato's cave’ is well known, it's the idea of how our perception can differ from the actual reality and how one can end up mistreated if one's different in any way. We tried to interpret this theory and tell what it means to us and what it means in a spiritual context. Plato's theory is getting more and more relevant these days as more and more mindful people start to live off the grid, really wake up and take a look at humanity and it’s toxic ways of existence. This song supports this approach and encourages individuals to open their eyes and really see what is happening around us and resist, while trying to build a new reality. However the song points out the battles we have to fight in this awakened state. This song is a poem to everyone who chose to try to explain the truth and face the backlash in this stage of their spiritual journey.

Zsombor (keys) comments on the song itself:
Plato’s Cave is another signature Esperfall-song, hence it was chosen as the third one to shoot a music video for. A relatively fast paced song where you can hear an unexpected soaring chorus that brings back the vibes of a classic Eurotrance track from the 90’s. Peter brings the growls from the depths of the underworld to compliment the clean vocals of Nora, and both Laszlo and Zsombor showcase their excellence in their soloing abilities. Plato’s Cave is an unstoppable metal hit that you simply cannot stop jumping to.

Zakk (drums) regarding the music video:
For this music video we were aiming for a kind of primal setting so we decided to shoot the video in the wild open, in the middle of nowhere. The dark of the night and the use of fire in the video is also a nice match for the story that the song is trying to tell. The shooting was extremely intense and was done in a record time as there was an approaching storm constantly looming over our heads, urging us to wrap up the process as soon as possible… We barely managed to finish all the takes before the storm arrived with heavy rains and thunder. The lightning strikes that can be seen in the music video are 100% real!
