LUNATIC SOUL'S NEW MUSIC VIDEO "THE FEAR WITHIN" WAS FILMED IN CHERNOBYL
Lunatic Soul album, WALKING ON A FLASHLIGHT BEAM Out Now
THE FEAR WITHIN is the name of the new music video for Mariusz Duda's
solo project, Lunatic Soul and its album, WALKING ON A FLASHLIGHT
BEAM.
Mariusz Duda is the lead singer and creative force behind the Polish
band, Riverside. KScope has released Lunatic Soul's fourth album
WALKING ON A FLASHLIGHT BEAM, which comprises almost 64 minutes of
brand new music.
Filmed by Scott (that's right, just "Scott") from Kscope, and edited
by (Steven Wilson's video director) Lasse Hoile, THE FEAR WITHIN video
documents Chernobyl as it is now nearly 30 years since the
catastrophic nuclear accident (26 of April, 1986). Scott has an
interest in "dark tourism," which is traveling to sites historically
associated with death and tragedy and "urbexing," which is exploring
'generally abandoned man-made ruins.
Pripyat (a ghost town near Reactor 4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power
Plant) is high on Scott's list of well known places to visit, "I was
desperate to explore the abandoned area surrounding the power station
that was the scene of the devastating nuclear disaster, before the
government changed the regulations for visitors. A friend suggested a
trip to Kiev, Ukraine. I spoke with Lasse before I went, and he
encouraged me to film/photograph as much as I possibly could to
document the area, with a thought to potentially using the footage to
create a video in the future when an appropriate project came up. It
had to be the right fit for the right track. Lunatic Soul's THE FEAR
WITHIN was that perfect project."
Mariusz Duda says the album WALKING ON A FLASHLIGHT BEAM title
"indicates living in a world of imagination in a place that's made up
and unreal. You can have your head in the clouds, you can chase after
rainbows so you can walk on a flashlight beam too. It's a story about
choosing to be alone, inspired by the life of people who were
completely alienated and withdrawn from social life, who shunned all
interactions with the outside world. It's about people who, even on a
bright and sunny day, have the curtains drawn and the blinds closed in
their rooms. Such people are usually surrounded by books, films,
games, figments of other people's imagination. I've written about
solitude and living in a world of fiction before in Riverside's lyrics
but now I've decided to write a whole album about it."
