Brighter Than A Thousand Suns drop their latest industrial single ‘Futureblind (Aphantasia)’ via FiXT, alongside an official music video.
The video is filled with ’80s aesthetics, bright colours, and lines reminiscent of synthwave, fitting perfectly with the gaming vibes of the single. The track is intended as pulsing anthem for anyone whose creative talents have been stunted and a push against conformity.
It fuses synths, syncopated rhythms, distorted electronic vocals, and a haunting vocal performance with provoking and thoughtful lyrics for a defiant industrial single with retro undertones in a single revolutionary soundscape.
“‘Futureblind’ is about elitist genre gatekeepers who are cemented on traditions to the extent that they can’t envision a future without them and thus actively try to disable any meaningful artistic evolution,” declared Brighter Than A Thousand Suns.
“Such a community of arrogance doesn’t create an inspiring environment – it merely manufactures obedience. This song serves as something of a battle cry for any artist who’s ever felt their creativity stifled as a result of feeling pressured to conform to their genre’s more predictable patterns.”
Serpentine and with regard for neither genre trends nor constraints, husband/wife duo Brighter Than A Thousand Suns has shed skin countless times since full-length debut Survival Machines in 2011. The band has since experimented, through several EPs and singles, in the realms of metalcore and electronica – All entwined with a gritty and brutally relatable thread they have now nailed down and seamlessly melded to their current vision, a they verged between active-rock/nu-metal and a synthwave/cyberpunk-meets-rock/metal approach.
