URNE Premiere “Breathe” Video
URNE have premiered a new video for their song “Breathe.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s latest album “Setting Fire To The Sky.” Frontman Joe Nally commented:
“I originally wrote the track around 14 years ago, but it took Angus tweaking a few elements to finally make it click, to make it feel complete. Lyrically, there is a link here to the final number on our previous album, ‘A Feast On Sorrow‘, but with this new record we are very much looking forward. We wanted the clip to reflect the mood and space of the music, and as always, Loki absolutely delivered.”
