It’s not often that I think of black metal as uplifting. It’s a genre that kind of prides itself on its nihilism and hatred for humanity. But UADA, with their new video for “Retraversing the Void,” is reminding us to persevere through the inevitable trials of human life. Death and destruction are a part of the lore of every culture across the planet, and we’re in an eternal struggle to escape the inevitable terror they bring on inside of all of us. “Retraversing the Void” invites us to ride their signature groove, relentless blastbeats, and howling vocals into the depths of ancient wisdom that still lives inside all of us. It’s the new single off their forthcoming record Crepuscule Natura that’s out on September 8th via Eisenwald — get it here and watch it below!
As life is full of ups and downs, it is of utmost importance to remember our worth, dedication, and inner potential so that we may understand the universe’s plan in guiding us along our path. While it may be common to feel lost from time to time, we must know we are always where we are meant to be in order to learn from the experiences life presents. We hope the symbolism within provides an awakening analogy of opening our perception to the balance of all things as well as the ability to listen to the greater powers (be it the higher-self, an ancestral messenger, or perhaps a deity known as one of many gods) who often speak upon deaf ears.
