TESSERACT Release Music Video For ‘Juno’ Track
October 10th, 2018

English progressive metal group TesseracT have filmed a music video for the track ‘Juno’. Directed by Richard Oakes of Dark Fable Media, the clip can be viewed below.

Vocalist and lyricist Dan Tomkins commented: “Writing the lyrics for this album was a cathartic experience and I feel that ‘Juno’ is probably the epitome of Sonder. We wanted to create a video that symbolised the realisation of the constraints that are placed on life. ‘Juno’ is the embodiment of that feeling.

“Having worked with Dark Fable Media multiple times, I have grown to love what they do and how they operate. TesseracT have wanted to work with them for a long time now, so this video was a real joy to work on.”

Bassist Amos Williams added: “Technically, this was intense as we filmed everything at double speed to get a weird fantasy vibe that was still in time when replayed at normal speed. Of all the tracks we could have chosen to try this technique, ‘Juno’ is not the easiest. But, we think the results show for themselves it was worth it!”
