Description: Finland's progressive post metal group Besra make a return with their sophomore album Transitions. Revealing their first single Sentinels along with a powerful music video, the band showcases a heightened level of ferocity and aggression, and at the same time retain their signature sound made of intensity and emotional charge. The album has been mixed and mastered by Magnus Lindberg, recognized for his collaborations with Cult of Luna. This brings forth an nice mix of sludgy, progressive, modern, and alternative metal elements.
Besra's drummer, Ville Kaisla, comments on the creation of the music video: "The song is on the heavier side of the album, so we absolutely wanted to make a powerful playing video for it. On the other hand, the lyrical side of ”Sentinels" also conveys a strong sense of frustration, making it feel very natural to add a visual narrative to it. The song itself is a story about the deterioration of human behavior and its negative effects on our environment. This has led to us losing both the connection and appreciation for nature and ourselves. We wanted to contribute our thoughts to maintain this important discussion.”
