| Following on from the successful release of their debut album Penumbra, London progressive tech metal outfit Khaidian bring you the video for their brand new single, Thrive. Thrive is the fourth single to be released from Penumbra and is another fine showcase of the progressive wizardry that has seen Khaidian winning new fans everyday since they started releasing the songs from Penumbra. The band explain the story behind Thrive below: |
| “Thrive is Andy’s take on having lost some close family within a very short time span. Obviously it’s a very personal thing for him, but most people can relate to loss. The video is actually an interpretation of the Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Shadow’. In it, a man searching for knowledge finds himself being separated from his Shadow, and gradually grows weaker. I felt that the symbolism tied in with Andy’s lyrics. Interestingly, the story is one of the few fairy tales that doesn’t end well for the protagonist.” |
Khaidian currently have two live shows coming up, both in London.
Firstly, they are opening for Otep on the 13th of February at Dingwalls in Camden Town. They will also be supporting Pist.On at Islington Academy on the 21st of March. Ticket information for the Otep can be found on the Khaidian Facebook page. Tickets for the Pist.On show can be obtained from Seetickets here.
