I like the song, but the video's kinda meh-ish. Didn't leave any impact on me at all.

Compared to other metal music videos, this one is really good in my opinion. The song is great and I think that they incorporated the "apocalyptic" atmosphere in a nice way. A huge plus for the "live" performance and Lisa is of course stunning as always!

Video aint half bad, the song is quite good though, but im not expecting them to emulate their previous album cause it was superb from the first song to the end. hopefully they prove me wrong

I preferred them on Arcane Rain Fell. This is more gothic metal than doom.

I Absolutely love Draconian's music but I dont like this video. If you want to tell a story in a music video, let it make sense. Not this seemingly random bullshit. The performance is quite good so that's a plus but they should have cut the whole "chase/emprisonment" stuff (or do it good and complete).

The video wasn't that bad (i hate probably 75% of metal videos). It wasn't amazing, but the ending was pretty cool.

Arcane Rain Fell is definitely their pinnacle for me. This song is quite good, but i agree the doom elements are missing a bit. I also think they could blend the two vocals a bit better. The guys just randomly starts singing (or growling) when he could have been introduced with a slow "grrrr" or something that makes the music flow.

I don't usually care much about videos, but if I have to criticise this one, it would be for the (bad) female actress. I think the scenarios were pretty nice. But what's of importance is the song, and it's a very good song if you ask me, or it wouldn't be Draconian.

I'm anxious for the next album to come out.

It makes sense as both those covers were made by Seth from Septicflesh.

The video is just a standard metal video featuring the scenes portraying the band and the scenes that seem to tell some story distantly related to the lyrics of the song. Nothing out of the ordinary... The song itself is quite good but, in my most humblest opinion, it doesn't come close to the best songs out of "Turning Season Within". Anyway, I have some expectations for the upcoming album.

Not the best I could imagine, but still good.
I think they could've done it better.

Anyway, thank you Draconian!
Waiting for the new album.

Not bad video, not awesome, but not the worst I ever saw. And the song is good! But not so doomy as Arcane Rain Fell and the debut were.

Didn't know Seth did this one too. That explains why I had the same feeling as Imraghil... Usually his covers are very different from each other, but this one looks clearly a copy of "Poetry..."

Well, I could recognize that it was his work from the first glance. Though all his works are different (just as you mentioned) but he has his distinctive style.
