Speaking on their latest release, Within Destruction share:

“The song’s animated video delves into the heartbreaking journey of losing someone deeply cherished and the emotional turmoilthat follows. It begins with a raw expression of grief and loss of purpose in one’s life, consequently, the protagonist’s color paletteis darker in the intro. As the song unfolds, it moves through various stages of mourning—loneliness, longing, sadness and the haunting feeling of absence i.e. feeling in-complete. There are also moments of reflection, where the protagonist recalls fondmemories, trying to hold on to the love that once was, but slowly realizing that they must let go in order to move on. The videoalso touches on the feelings of helplessness, questioning if there was more that could have been done. As the song progresses,a sense of acceptance begins to emerge.

The protagonist starts to understand that healing isn’t linear, and that while the painmay never completely fade, it’s possible to find peace in the midst of loss. The song closes on a bittersweet note, suggestingthat while the person may no longer be physically present, their memory will continue to live on, offering a sense of solace. Theprotagonist’s color palette becomes vibrant towards the outro, suggesting a sense of resolve to their former “in-complete” self. While the lyrics and video depict the loss of a loved one, they are also meant to be interpreted in a more general sense: “To trulylive is to embrace the full spectrum of life, knowing that even pain has its place in shaping who we are and without sadness, joyloses its depth and without hardship, triumph feels hollow.“

Building on the momentum of their previous singles – “CYBER GIRL”, “DEMON CHILD” and “KANASHIBARI,” WithinDestruction’s fifth studio album, “ANIMETAL” pushes their sonic experimentation to new heights. Combining their trademark brutality with anime-inspired electronic flourishes, the album reflects their fearless creativity and relentless drive to challenge genre boundaries.
