Operus Launches New Music Video
Canadian epic symphonic metal band, Operus has a new music video for their single "Lost" off their latest album "Score of Nightmares" released through German label Pride & Joy Music during June 2020.
The vision behind the new video is that of a journey through an inner self-created metaphoric world of being lost along with the feeling of self-doubt and the inevitable anxiety of running out of time. The video's purpose is to demonstrate that we all need guidance and that although our time here isn’t infinite, what we do with our "sands of time" is the most important.
The visually stunning music video was filmed by Joe Lyko of Dark Moon Productions and features Bunny Noire in the role of the "Lost Girl," which can be viewed below. More...

Operus Posts New Lyric Video
Toronto, ON based Operus creates compositions of heavy, classical-influenced metal and released debut EP "Opus I" during November 2015.
Today the band posted a new lyric video for the track "Maya And The Wolf," which can be viewed at the following link below. Band founder Oscar Rangel comments:
"I believe 'Maya & the Wolf ' is the most interesting song in the album, its sound is very classical, yet the story telling in the lyrics and the instrumentation gives it folkish undertones as well. This is the song we chose to produce a lyric video for because we believe this is the most 'relatable' song in the EP and yet it still sounds heavy and it is clear that its part of a metal album.
"The instrumental part in the middle is one of the many “band solo” sections I have worked over the years using mainly the counterpoint composition technique, where all the instruments play different melodies at once to build up a very interesting sounding passage." More...
