Dark progressive post metallers PALMER offer a deeply intimate with their new video “Misery”

February 21, 2017
1 min read

Just in time for the upcoming premiere of their new record ‘Surrounding The Void’ (Czar of Bullets, February 24th), Swiss atmospheric post metal act PALMER have released a new music video for the song ‘Misery’, a powerful monument crafted with care and precision. The video is a nurturing, subtle effort, which leaves you inspired and tangled in metaphors. Watch below!

Palmer – a band persistently forging their sound towards perfection for the last 16 years. This Swiss quartet is no typical four-four time metalcombo straight off the rack. Palmer’s sound oscillates somewhere between post-metal and prog-rock with spherical timbres. This band works intuitively and without restraints and their creations reflect an energy of immediate presence.

The new album ‘Surrounding The Void’ contains 9 songs that boast originality. Inspired by different niches from the world of extreme metal, prog-rock, jazz and ambient sounds, Palmer have always followed their own distinct path, continually looking towards the future and pursuing their own individual Soundscape. ‘Surrounding The Void’ reflects Palmer’s typical aspects such as tension, relief and extreme dynamics. These core aspects are imminent on the new album and seem even more mature and distinct.
