Lord Dying Posts New Music Video “The Universe Is Weeping” Online

Portland progressive sludge masters Lord Dying have unleashed their new single / video “The Universe Is Weeping,” taken from their long-awaited new full-length, “Clandestine Transcendence,” which is released 19th January 2024 via MNRK Heavy. You can check out the video, which originally premiered via Decibel, below.

Vocalist / guitarist Erik Olson comments on the new single: “We are very psyched to premiere the opening track and video for ‘The Universe Is Weeping’ off our upcoming album. This song picks up directly where our previous album leaves off. Post death. Blazing beyond the cosmos and outside the realms of consciousness. Total dissolution of the self. Into Clandestine Transcendence.”

Bassist Alyssa Maucere, who directed and produced the video, adds: “When asked to direct the video for ‘The Universe Is Weeping,’ I couldn’t help but tackle the concept of the Cosmic Calendar. For instance, the Universe’s birthdate is January 1st. Life on earth = Sept 30th. Human history is Dec 31st at 23:59:57. We consume everything in our path as our sources of energy, some of which have been on earth for over 600 million years. If the past can tell us anything about life, a new life form could come along one day that decides that they can house us, raise us, and overfeed us to become their most preferred source of energy. Or we could just destroy each other before that day may come, which seems more likely to me.”
