Munich alternative metal band Antirope has officially unveiled their mesmerizing new music video for the nine-minute epic track “Aurora”, directed by the band’s own guitarist Patrick Fleischer. Pushing past the traditional boundaries of heavy music visuals, Fleischer steers the band away from linear storytelling in favor of an abstract, kaleidoscopic landscape that mirrors the immense emotional weight of the song. The video serves as a brilliant companion piece to the track, capturing a rare blend of discomfort and striking elegance that aligns perfectly with the sonic DNA of the German quartet. This is the fourth music video taken from their full-length album Bring Me to Zero which was recently released on May 1, 2026 via Eclipse Records.
The track is a standout centerpiece from their sophisticated full-length album, Bring Me To Zero, released via Eclipse Records. Recorded live at Lungfull Studios to preserve raw energy, the album positions Antirope alongside contemporaries like Soundgarden, Tool, and Neurosis while establishing an entirely unique sonic territory. Ultimately, the video for Aurora is not merely a promotional tool, but a courageous artistic statement that proves heavy music can be profoundly intimate, deeply unsettling, and breathtakingly beautiful all at once.
Bring Me To Zero marks a significant evolution for the Munich-based band. Overall, the album sounds massive without sacrificing intimacy, letting every riff, breath, and impact land with deliberate weight. Antirope’s sound remains rooted in the primal heaviness of Black Sabbath, the brooding grit of Soundgarden, and the hypnotic sprawl of Neurosis, yet the band never settles for homage. Instead, they carve a distinctly modern identity where dense, down-tuned riffs collide with psychedelic textures, and moments of crushing volume dissolve into eerie calm. Vocalist Slaven Stokic moves effortlessly between raw urgency and haunted restraint, guiding the listener through an album that feels less like a collection of songs and more like a psychological descent. Produced by guitarist Partick Fleischer (Lacrimas Profundere, Darkseed, Alev) at Lungfull Studios, the upcoming album promises a heavier, more hook-driven sound characterized by bold vocal arrangements and an explosive rhythmic backbone. The album contains eleven tracks, including standouts like “Zero,” “Intervention,” “Afterglow,” and a cover of the Cream classic “Sunshine of Your Love.” Bring Me to Zero balances brutality with beauty, never letting one exist without the other. The album artwork, created by the band themselves, mirrors that duality: stark, personal, and uncompromising. Released on May 1, 2026 via Eclipse Records, Bring Me to Zero positions Antirope as a band unafraid to confront collapse head-on while emerging with something strangely luminous in its wake.
