Artist: Gallia
Title: Chaos
Label: Independent Release
Belgian cinematic metal band Gallia dropped their successful album Obscura in September, and are now releasing a music video for one of their songs: Chaos. The song is dark and deep, layered with mystery and one of the heaviest songs from the album.
Chaos
The music only fits the title; Chaos takes you along on a rollercoaster of heavy guitar riffs and angry vocals. The song is inspired by the storyline of Yennifer from The Witcher (game, novel and Netflix series) and describes her search for magical power. The enchanting theme sucks you in, the soft eastern bridge comes unexpected and the powerful chorus takes you on a dark trip down in our fantasy world of Obscura.
Obscura
Obscura is built on the story that was set in place by EP Everflame (released in 2019). Everflame was about the band’s fight against the dark. As long as the fire was burning, there would be hope.
Obscura tells the story of the band finishing their duty with the Everflame and returning to a life of freedom, and finding a different world than they remember. Feeling lost, they set out on travels to rediscover this new world. Every song tells a new part of the world they discover, a much darker world than they had left behind.

The story of Gallia
