Arkaik Releases "Futile State" Video

Advancing the September release of Arkaik's fifth full-length album "Nemethia," the brutal tech-death metal outfit today releases an official video for the record's "Futile State" track.

Produced and directed by Nikko DeLuna, with effects by Trevor "No One" Turner and makeup by Sherra Dixon and Jenn Jones, the new "Futile State" video visually delivers some of the album's sci-fi influence.

A continuation on the conceptual saga of Arkaik's two previous releases, on "Nemethia" the journey of Cyrix expands into new landscapes, as does the band's technical prowess and creativity.

Vocalist Jared Christianson commments: "The song is about the feeling of existential futility and the catharsis it can create. The video is a blend of ideas. I took inspiration from Plato's Allegory Of The Cave, mixed with neo-shamanism and put a transhumanist spin on it. Nikko DeLuna is great at taking my ideas and bringing them to life. It was a pleasure to work with him again, and the rest of our team. Enjoy!"
