The next song to be released from Death Angel’s brilliant new record is a personal favourite of mine.
“Lost” potentially one of the best tracks on the new album has been given the video treatment. Shot in stark contrast of black and white to demonstrate the tracks themes its another brilliant crafted video that works on many different yet simplistic levels.
Tackling three subject of an abusive drug addled relationship, religious extremism and bullying all three of these subjects hit home and the way they are done in the video is simplistic and effective rather than over the top and cheesy. With regards to the songs meaning Osegueda stated :
“The song ‘Lost’ is very personal to me and I believe it will resonate with many. As one who has been fortunate enough to be raised In the San Francisco Bay Area (an extremely diverse region), I have made friends with people from every religion, race, sexual orientation, and genre of music fan! One thing that no one can escape, no matter what one’s beliefs are, or how well you were raised, or educated, is that one point in your life that you felt apart, or alone.
“It is an awful and disparaging feeling. Some are fortunate enough to have only experienced a fleeting moment of that empty feeling. More often than not though, it’s much longer than a fleeting moment, and time moves no slower than when stuck in that feeling. I myself am not immune to that human experience. This song is for and about all who have ever been trapped in that dark hole of your own mind. This is ‘Lost’! You are not alone!”
Well put Osegueda! Not to mention the music behind the song is one of Death Angel’s best. The video was both directed and edited by Tommy Jones for Videohammer Studios.
Death Angel’s brand new album The Evil Divide is out tomorrow (May 27th) via Nuclear Blast.
