I had a few minutes to myself earlier and was checking out my social media feeds, then all of a sudden I was excited because there was a new video by BAND-MAID, the band I do adore so much had a new video for me to see. I really was not ready for what I got – 

As you can see this is a particularly dark video with a dark message. The video continually shows shots of suffering or things that lead to suffering it is a surprisingly deep video, I say surprising and of course the band really have never shied away from social issues. From the politics of World Domination to their choice of clothing this band has a lot to say and we the fans want to hear it.

Something happened
Long ago
The world was simple
A love could grow
Bound together
In dark and light
At peace within
No need to fight

That is why, why
Too many tears flow
That is why, why
With each goodbye
The dragon cries

Then you left me
No reason why
No falling rain
My love went dry
My breath was empty
No tree to climb
No stars that shine
A moonless sky

That is why, why
Too many tears flow
That is why, why
With each goodbye
The dragon cries

The birds that sing
Sing no…

Conqueror continues to be an impressive album, one that is really worth checking out.
