Much things coming your way! The most spectacular happening at the moment, might be the Inception music video and single release. Check out the video right here:

The Unguided - Inception

The music video was directed by 11Frames Productions and the 10 sketches in the clip was made by Kuang Hong. You can check all the sketches out here. Here's also some behind the scene pictures that wasn't posted before.

Here's the lyrics to the song:

"If death is the winner of every war, then it's death that I'll have to become..."

:: INCEPTION ::

As I readied my time-worn shield
And entered my old crown
I knew what had to be done
(What had to be done)
I was not plucked by the heavens
to be trained as a warrior
I was created knowing only war

IF DEATH IS THE WINNER OF EVERY WAR
THEN IT’S DEATH THAT I’LL HAVE TO BECOME
BLACK ON TRACK, THROUGH THE GLOOM WE SOAR
THE END OF THEIR TYRANNY HAS BEGUN
ARISE MORTALS, LIKE A FLOOD OF VENGEANCE
BECOME THE LEVIATHAN, WHICH NOTHING CAN SHUN
THERE WILL BE NO HINDRANCE, ONCE THEIR TASKMASTER FALLS
AND THAT’S WHEN JUSTICE WILL BE DONE

If your hearts were really broken
You would all be dead
So even if your souls are crushed
You must comprehend
That these could be your last days
Time is running short
Follow the song of the Angel cleaver
And let my dark wings fortify you

IF DEATH IS THE WINNER OF EVERY WAR
THEN IT’S DEATH THAT I’LL HAVE TO BECOME
BLACK ON TRACK, THROUGH THE GLOOM WE SOAR
THE END OF THEIR TYRANNY HAS BEGUN
ARISE MORTALS, LIKE A FLOOD OF VENGEANCE
BECOME THE LEVIATHAN, WHICH NOTHING CAN SHUN
THERE WILL BE NO HINDRANCE, ONCE THEIR TASKMASTER FALLS
AND THAT’S WHEN JUSTICE WILL BE DONE

Fire burns many things, but it cannot touch a shadow
Let them run, let them hide, we will always be close behind
We will always be close behind

Justice will be done
Justice shall be done

The single artwork was also made by Kaung Hong. And is a bit of a revamp of an old artwork concept idea for the song "Jailbreak", which the sci-fi artist; Tom Weighil, began work on, almost 10 years ago. But never finished and sadly it was also never used. Since the motive worked really well with the current story, I decided to breathe new life in it with Kuang Hong's brilliant skills. After all, nostalgia is a welcome guest in our minds every now and then.

Merry Xmas from The Unguided

Headbangers Latinoamerica greeting

I've celebrated Xmas at the west coast of Sweden in the deep woods of my mother's house. Was nice to meet some kindred again, since that's a rare occasion here in Stockholm. Hope everyone had great holiday celebrations!
