New York’s own Mortal Prophets, led by the visionary John Beckmann, are poised to shatter the boundaries of music with their electrifying new single, “New Breed.” Released alongside a visually stunning music video by filmmaker Michelle Civetta, this track is a sonic manifesto.
“New Breed” explodes onto the scene with a pulsating energy that defies categorization. Thumping drums provide a relentless momentum, driving the song forward with an irresistible force. A hazy soundscape washes over the listener, creating a sense of disorientation and intrigue. Pulsating synths weave through this sonic tapestry, adding a layer of shimmering brilliance.
The vocals are a revelation. Blurred by a touch of reverb, they take on an otherworldly quality, a warm rasp that hypnotizes and enthralls. They sing with an undeniable conviction, each note infused with a raw passion that draws you deeper into the song’s mesmerizing pull. Adding another layer of sonic intrigue are faint, siren-like female vocals that float ethereally in the background.
The melodies in “New Breed” are nothing short of masterful. They sprawl like sonic tendrils, weaving a tapestry of sound that is both beautiful and unsettling. There’s a sense of disharmony, a deliberate dissonance that creates a tension that is impossible to ignore. Yet, within this chaos, there is also a strange sense of harmony.
The music video for “New Breed” perfectly complements the song’s avant-garde spirit. Director Michelle Civetta masterfully blends futuristic imagery with ancient symbolism. A gleaming UFO descends upon a backdrop of crumbling Mayan ruins, a visual metaphor for the way “New Breed” shatters musical conventions.
Get hypnotized in the haze brought on by the “New Breed” by Mortal Prophets.
