Shardborne Posts "Room Within A Room" Video

Shardborne, the prog metal act coming straight from the Emerald Isle, has released a video for "Room Within A Room," their first official clip from upcoming release "Living Bridges." The album is set for release on July 10th via Out On A Limb Records.

The video was filmed in two locations in Shardborne’s home city of Limerick. The band comments: "We spent a while talking over different locations and after the first shoot [in the church] it took us nearly a year to decide where to film the next part of the video.

"Actually choosing track ‘Room Within A Room’ as the first song to make into a video was an easy decision for the band. “We wanted to have a strong track for the first video and we plan on making videos for most if not all of the songs on 'Living Bridges.'

“’Room Within A Room’ is, oddly enough, the last track on the album. It offers a good idea as to the rest of the tunes. It's a good closer – we wanted to end Living Bridges on a strong note. Although there is no singing, there are musical themes repeated in the song at some points and this was reflected somewhat in the different lighting styles. We wanted to keep it as varied as possible so that it could stay visually as interesting as the music.

"We knew we wanted to have the lighting be an interesting visual component to the video, but we had not planned out exactly how we would do it. We had a friend who does lighting bring a lot of equipment and we experimented with ideas until we got what we liked.

"We tried to utilize the spaces we were in as much as possible. We used a few significant lighting types throughout the video. The bright white and red lights as we appear as a whole band in the church, then there are blue coloured visualisations projected over us in a glass room. These are used early on in the song, and as the song progresses, the second location with the LED wall and the most drastic lighting style of the three is used. This style has a lot of fast cuts and strobe lighting to suit the faster, more dramatic parts of the song.”
