Polish groove metal band RiseuP team up with Space Raiders In Space video game for "Prophecy" music video
Polish groove metal band RiseuP have launched the music video for their new single “Prophecy” today.
The visual uses footage taken from the wave defense roguelike game Space Raiders In Space, which was developed by 2 Stupid Devs and published by Destructive Creations. The video was directed by Marcin Szaraniec from Bridge To Horizon. RiseuP's co-vocalist Stanek said this about the visual:
"We made the video using assets from a game called Space Raiders in Space which tells a story as old as civilization itself. When something new and unknown is discovered, it raises many different feelings in society however, among all of those feelings the most powerful one is fear. There is a small step from fear to hatred and (as we have seen throughout history), society is often swayed towards fear by those who seek power through manipulation of society."
RiseuP’s other vocalist Ratajksi said:
"The lyrics of the song are inspired by how humanity's dark side hasn't changed much despite the academic study of history by humanity. Despite the lessons we learned from World War II, atrocities continue all over the world. Even now, many governments are centralized and dictatorial in nature, so the message of the song is a prediction or a prophecy about what could be in store for us if we don't change our ways. Will we ever learn?"
“Prophecy” stems from RiseuP’s forthcoming debut album Destructive Machine's Chilling Time 3:27, which will be released on August 6 via Eclipse Records. Pre-orders and pre-saves can be made here.
Space Raiders in Space, which was released back in December, is available for 50% off on Steam until July 6.
