Dead Icarus Debuts New Music Video "1 Million Days"

Dead Icarus, the new project of former Atreyu lead vocalist and Gold-selling artist Alex Varkatzas, as well as Gabe Mangold of Enterprise Earth and Brandon Zackey, have released a new single "1 Million Days." The single is inspired by classic '80s horror films, so it arrives just in time for the creepy season. You can check it out below. "1 Million Days" is taken from their debut album, Zealot, out 31st October via MNRK Heavy.

"'1 Million Days' is as close as Dead Icarus gets to a power ballad on Zealot," explains Varkatzas. "When I first started writing the lyrics, I thought it was about failing someone else and seeking their forgiveness. As I finished the lyrics, it became more first person and about letting one's self down and forgiving one's self for mistakes made. Sometimes, the weight we bear is placed upon our own shoulders by ourselves and only we can remove it.

"The video is sort of a tongue-in-cheek homage to late '80s horror, filmed inside a haunted house that is housed inside a haunted building from the 1800s."
