The Monarch (Static-X, ex-Soulfly, etc.) have premiered a new video for their new song “When Death Finds You.” This track is from the band’s new album “A Moment To Lose Your Breath,” which will be released on November 17.
The group commented:
“This is a perspective of death… from death’s perspective if death were really a figure. Death knows all and is the only one true certain fact of life. All of us, no matter how good, bad, rich, poor… will all face death eventually. The element of fate is already deep inside of all of us. Death lives inside every living breathing being. It’s just a matter of how you live your life and how you choose to welcome death that determines when the element of fate will manifest itself.
We shouldn’t fear death. Otherwise, life is just a waste, as death is certain and final. In the video, ‘Death’ is portrayed by the beauty. She is strong and all-knowing. ‘The innocent’ meets and is welcomed into the arms of death. The current ‘element of fate’ has served her time on the black horizon, and now it is time to name a successor. This being of ‘Death’ crowns ‘The Monarch’ and is given her final task… a ride to the end with wide open arms. ‘The Monarch’ now helms life’s process. It’s all a metaphor, and it’s your job as the listener to make it your own.”
