Daydream XI Posts "Painted Smile" Instrumental Video

Brazilian progressive/power metal outfit Daydream XI has launched a live instrumental video of the new song "Painted Smile," which will appear on the band's upcoming concept double album "The Circus of the Tattered and Torn."

The video, filmed at a recent full-band rehearsal, is released in conjunction with an ongoing PledgeMusic crowdfunding campaign for the new album. Stream the "Painted Smile" playthrough video below.

Commented guitarist/vocalist Tiago Masseti: "As a thankful message to everyone who's been supporting the band and the PledgeMusic campaign, we decided to capture a live studio performance of a new song. It's instrumental for now, not to spoil too much. This song is one of the first ones I've written for the new album, and it really helped to establish the tone for the new record. It's got some fast power metal drums as in the older songs, but on top of heavier and darker riffs. It's also pretty responsible for the whole circus theme of the album. The lyrics to come are about the classic irony of the clown who makes people laugh but is broken on the inside."

The Daydream XI PledgeMusic campaign will continue for another 30-plus days, offering fans access to exclusive items including personalized postcards, signed CDs, songbooks, music lessons, personalized ring tones, intimate concert experiences and more.
