“Death Sleepers” will be on Rage In My Eyes’ new album, Ice Cell
Rage In My Eyes is a Brazilian heavy metal band that began its activities in 2002 under the name Scelerata . The band's new album , Ice Cell , was recorded between 2017 and 2018 in the cities of Los Angeles (USA) and Porto Alegre (Brazil). In these 17 years, the band has had a huge history in the Brazilian heavy metal scene, with three albums released worldwide, including the acclaimed album The Sniper , which featured special appearances by Paul Di'Anno (ex-Iron Maiden) and Andi Deris (Helloween) . Scelerata was also Paul Di'Anno's official backing band from 2009 to 2014, playing more than 50 shows.
To celebrate this new beginning, Rage In My Eyes presents the music video for the song "Death Sleepers," which has a very special meaning for the band for several reasons. Drummer Francis Cassol : “Firstly, this will be the first official release since the name change. We've been working on this material for years and we're very happy to finally be releasing it. This band has had so many rebirths that I prefer to think of this time as a fresh start, where we're only looking forward. Without a doubt, this is the strongest lineup, where all members are focused on the same goal. This work is also special because it's the result of a very successful crowdfunding campaign, where we were able to count on the support of fans and friends to surpass our goal. We are sure we won't disappoint. I would like to thank the entire team involved for their excellent work, director Ulisses da Motta and producer Eduardo Christofoli and other members, actors Renata Stein , Bruno Barcelos , Maia D'Oxum and our great accordionist partner Matheus Kléber .”
Regarding the concept of the music video, it's a development of the song's theme, articulated with the idea of a new visual identity for the band. Guitarist Leo Nunes gives his vision of the work: “We worked with three main ideas, on three distinct levels, prompted by this need for synthesis between the band's new phase and the lyrical theme of 'Death Sleepers': on an aesthetic level, the Gaucho traditionalism; on a moral level, the consequences of a subjectivist worldview, and the hypnotic self-persuasion that accompanies it as a distinctive characteristic; on a poetic level, the installation of man in the realm of superficialities as an existential negation of the human drama itself. The video represents these three ideas with a symbolic play of images, which sometimes intervene in the scenes where the band performs the music, and sometimes appear with the members on the same plane.”
