Instrumental post-rockers SONS OF ALPHA CENTAURI drop new video "Solar Storm" ; "Continuum" out now on H42 Records

A storm is coming… The journey into instrumental progressive rockers SONS OF ALPHA CENTAURI‘s new album « Continuum » progresses; as the video for « Solar Storm » lands today.
« Solar Storm is the cumulative blend of fast, slow, heavy, progressive styles of SOAC all encapsulated within a five minute adrenaline shot. Working with Simon Risbridger on this video was awesome as he completely understands our visual aesthetic and secluded introspective approach. We wanted the video to represent the different segments and styles within the track as part of the journey – it has been highly stylised with multiple references and subliminal messages. Embark the journey and embrace the storm!’ states SOAC bassist Nick Hannon
