Los Angeles-based industrial metal band Dawn of Ashes has revealed the hotly anticipated, intensely graphic official music video for their single, "EMDR", which can be viewed below.
Fully NSFW, featuring unsettling imagery as analogies for the wholly encompassing and often contradictory experiences of severe trauma sufferers, "EMDR" is not for the faint of heart, but serves as a uniquely explicit insight into a mind struggling to achieve balance and recognition beyond suffering.
"The story behind the music video 'EMDR' is about a trauma victim who experiences EMDR therapy," states frontman Kristof Bathory. "She slips into a nightmare and is being tormented in sexual and disturbing ways by a trauma spirit. In the end she becomes possessed by the spirit and ends up becoming what she fears the most."
Originally premiered with MetalSucks, "EMDR" is the first single off of the band's recently released and heavily praised new LP, Scars of the Broken, which is available to purchase (physical and digital) and stream online via Artoffact Records.
Dawn of Ashes will be hitting the road for the "Scars of the Broken Tour" with support from Midnight Nightmare, beginning July 17th at Bar Sinister in Las Angeles and winding throughout the United States, wrapping up August 6th at El Corazon in Seattle, WA (additional dates to be announced.) The tour will be preceded by a performance at The Wave-Gotik-Treffen (Wave Gothic Meeting) in Leipzig, Germany on June 3rd, 2022.
