San Francisco Bay Area metalcore band SWEPT TO SEA have just revealed another new music video for their latest single “Crown in Ashes“. This is the third music video & single taken from their upcoming debut EP album Tides which is scheduled to be released worldwide on December 2, 2022 via Eclipse Records. The music video was directed by Pedro Salgado & Claudia Golden.

“Dressing up as medieval peasants was definitely as fun as I thought it would be and being a huge fan of that time period made shooting Crown in Ashes a blast” says guitarist Gio Fox “we had a good turnout of friends and family who dressed up and helped us overthrow the corrupt king! My best friend Andrew Johnson took on the role of the king and killed it!  Being a professional MMA fighter Andrew didn’t mind taking a beating by an angry mob of peasants haha!” Bassist Sean Kameny adds, “This was probably my favorite shoot so far. From what started out as a bit of a nightmare with the pivot in location for the band shots (that turned out to be a blessing in disguise), to the little nature hike we all took in the Sunol Wilderness to the location for the story scenes. Besides, I look like I belong in medieval times as it is so it wasn’t too hard for me to get into character!”

Tides by Swept to Sea is a six song EP that draws its influences of the Northern European kind, encountering a massive fist fight with both Groove and American Metalcore. The aftermath of this fistful of Metal is brutal, bludgeoning, and bloody, yet also portrays a variety of emotional states that deliver reality right in one’s face.

“We’ve all been trolled online to some extent, whether it be a random internet troll or someone you know talking crap online” says bassist Sean Kameny “…and anyone who has been bullied to any degree has also had that fantasy of catching them and kicking their ass! That’s kind of how I view the premise of this video, being fed up and turning the tide on the bully so to speak. Even with a serious undertone, we wanted to have a little more fun with this video which is why Ernest and I play the internet trolls and the troll’s target. We had a blast acting if you can really call it that haha! It helps to make everything smoother when you and your co-star get along so well already going into it.” Drummer Gabe Paulos adds, “we decided to tone down the seriousness the last music video had and tried to be funnier with this one. Between the chase scene where we had members of the band playing in the background while Ernest looked around and featuring band shots in a kind of torture chamber we made out of the basement, similar to something you would see in a “Hostel” movie by Quentin Tarantino. Be sure to see if you can spot all the Ghostface in the background during the fight scene!”

San Francisco Bay area metalcore band SWEPT TO SEA have just revealed a new music video for their new single “Shards of Your Reflection“, as well as announcing the ability to pre-order their upcoming debut EP album Tides which is scheduled to be released on December 2, 2022 via Eclipse Records. The music video was directed by Pedro Salgado.

“Shards made a lot of sense as our first single” says guitarist Jeno Fox. “The song really captured our different musical tastes in a fun haunting song that had very visual lyrics which we wanted to capture in the video. It took a lot of time to set up the sets in a way that would give the haunted house vibes any justice. In the end, we feel as though we told a really scary story and got the visuals we all thought of when writing the song. In the video you can see all the band members in tattered black clothing, and the ‘ghost’ woman who often appears in the background of the footage, and a ritual scene which ultimately led to the origin of the ghost.” Vocalist Ernest Munoz adds, “If you zoom in close enough on my head, you will see a shard of your reflection hahaha… but yeah it was just too hot up there. At least the huge coolers in the warehouse helped cool us down. The difference in temperatures when we walked up and down the stairs felt like stepping into two different planes of existence.”

Our EP Tides is something that we’ve been cooking up for a while now, as we have worked to realize our sound and truly make a set of songs we are proud to show everyone.
