FORTHCOMING THIRD STUDIO ALBUM INTO THE UNKNOWN DUE OUT 2024
Grammy Award-winning, Ivor Novello-nominated live electronic trio NERO release the official music video for their newest single ‘Truth’, the lead off their highly-anticipated third studio album Into The Unknown, due out 2024 via Create Music Group.
Directed by Markus Lundqvist (known for his work with Daft Punk, Beyonce and Lady Gaga) and Daniel Stephens, NERO’s official ‘Truth’ music video encapsulates the cinematic mystique that has long set the trio apart. Encompassed in dark smoke and industrial elements, ‘Truth’ is a foreboding gateway into NERO’s universe and the first in a multi-part video series. Rising out of this post-apocalyptic world, the music video sees NERO reborn and their planet revitalized and awaiting what may lie ahead for humanity.
Written four years ago, ‘Truth’ was the first track created for Into The Unknown, and acts as the lead single into the concluding chapter of the NERO trilogy. ‘Truth’ perfectly captures the brutality and beauty of NERO, the ethereal quickly supplanted by the ecstatic. A propulsive track, underpinned by a sample of Amanda Palmer reading Neil Gaiman’s The Mushroom Hunters, a poem that tackles themes essential to NERO - motherhood, scientific reverence, the past and the future and humanities capacity for creation and destruction.
It’s been nearly a decade since NERO headlined Coachella's Outdoor Stage (2015) where they premiered their second studio album Between II Worlds. Since then, the band has turned their focus towards their side projects and personal lives, playing few live shows, and releasing one track in 2018. Into The Unknown marks a significant return for the trio, and the closing chapter in NERO’s album trilogy, which began with the chart topping, Platinum selling and Grammy winning Welcome Reality (2011).
‘Truth’ serves as the audiovisual entry into NERO’s forthcoming third album, Into The Unknown.
