+ Epic Anime Video For Perturbator’s New Single ‘Lady Moon’ Ft. Greta Link Released
“Kent’s most technically accomplished work to date.” – MXDWN
PERTURBATOR – the Paris-based composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist James Kent – today released his highly anticipated new album, Age of Aquarius. His debut for renowned metal label Nuclear Blast Records, mastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano (Ghost, Opeth) and featuring songs with Ulver, Alcest, Author & Punisher, and Greta Link, is available to stream & purchase now HERE. PERTURBATOR also shared his sweeping and cinematic latest single ‘Lady Moon,’ led by Link’s otherworldly vocals, and out now alongside an epic anime video directed/animated by French artist Victorien Aubineau.
“It’s a song about individualism and the power of the self. In a world where people seem to be increasingly in need of being part of something greater. It’s a song about being this ‘greater something’ and belonging and owing only to yourself,” Kent explains. Of the video, Aubineau notes, “I’ve been listening to Perturbator’s albums for a very long time, and, quite unconsciously, my own artistic universe has always been fed by his. I really like the idea of having structured the music video’s art direction into three distinct acts, allowing for a richer and deeper visual journey. This project was born, in a way, from our shared passion for the films: Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Appleseed.“
Along with earning a cover story at Kerrang!, early reviews of Age of Aquarius have been uniformly positive with praise and support via GBHBL New Noise Magazine, FLOOD Magazine, MXDWN, Decibel Magazine, and more. “Lady Moon” follows album singles ‘Mors Ultima Ratio,’ ‘The Swimming Pool,’ ‘Apocalypse Now,’ featuring lead vocals by Norwegian metal titan Kristoffer Rygg (Ulver), and ‘The Art of War,’ which earned great press via Brooklyn Vegan, Metal Injection, Exclaim!, Metal Sucks, The PRP, New Noise, and MXDWN, among others.
