Mumbai, India based Progressive/Heavy/Sludge Metal trio Midhaven share new live video for the track “Zhitro,” recorded live at Island City Studios. The track is taken from the band’s latest album “Of The Lotus & The Thunderbolt,” released in 2021. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
The album, in essence, is about time. Not clockwork time. Universal, cyclical time. We’ve grown up with a belief system that has repeatedly told us that things that have happened will happen yet again, and again, and again.
Time is seen as a continuum, and there are more universes than just this one. These are subjects we’ve debated and discussed from time immemorial. From the ancients, right down to us, this is how time is experienced where we come from. So naturally, when we started discussing lyrical concepts, time is something that all subjects were ultimately pointing toward. We were acting from an awareness that in this grand circuit of the cosmos, the self is constantly recreated in every moment. It’s not just about time, it’s also about a very personal experience of that time, through the aeons as life itself. It ultimately boils down to how time chisels to perfection the one universal soul that finds itself echoed in every living being.
For reasons not entirely known to us, it felt as though time channeled itself through us for the creation of this album. We were merely conduits in this process.
