Feast Your Ears And Eyes In Uncomfortable Depravity With ESCAPEMENT’s Video For Debut Single “Feed”

Featuring Members From 3 Headed Snake, Witherfall, Helion Prime

Music Video Premiere via New Noise Magazine

Escapement is the result of vocalist Johnny Ray (3 Headed Snake) and keyboardist Alex Nasla (Witherfall, Helion Prime) meeting on the famous 70k Metal Cruise and throwing musical ideas off of each other during pandemic boredom.

After a few months of reworking the songs and adding creative touches, they are ready to show off their debut single “Feed” and the music video for it. For the production of the video, Nasla flew to Florida and they shot alongside Loren Whitaker (drums), Chris Massie (guitars), and Brandon Delpino (bass), it was directed by Thomas Crane of Kill Devil Films. It is a slow driving heavy sludgy ballad with haunting vocal melodies, atmospheric keys, technical solos, and huge choruses. Escapement share some details on the conception of the single:

“It was the first song that Nasla and Ray worked on together. It started out small and took many months because of both of their busy schedules, but eventually, it grew, Ray sent the original song to Nasla who wrote keys for it. At that point, Ray had a wild idea to actually have Nasla fly to Florida, and work on a video together with Thomas Crane. It organically came together and was a great success! We believe fans will be refreshed by the heavy riffs, mixed with catchy memorable choruses and amazing solos.”

Escapement is a force of lyrical/vocal prowess, atmospheric yet technical keyboard work, dark and heavy guitars, and banging drums and 2021 will have lots to come from the act. There are more songs in the works, including more videos and a full length down the road. Escapement says that fans can expect scores of new tunes over time.

Memorable, intricate, and anthemic, Escapement brings a new dynamic to progressive metal that is recommended for fans of Nevermore, Gojira, and Alice in Chains.

Escapement was born on the high seas when vocalist Johnny Ray (3 Headed Snake) and keyboardist Alex Nasla (Helion Prime, Witherfall) were attending the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise. Ray was a stagehand during the cruise, and Nasla was covering press for his company Gear Gods. They kept in touch afterward, and during the initial COVID-19 shutdown Ray sent some music he was working on to Alex. They decided to work together and make great music happen.

A few months after the songs were finished they decided to shoot a music video for their planned debut single “Feed.” Nasla flew to Florida where the music video was shot alongside Ray (vocals), Loren Whitaker (drums), Chris Massie (guitar), and Brandon Delpino (bass). It was directed by Thomas Crane of Kill Devil Films.

The name Escapement comes from the movement of a mechanical watch. It symbolizes winding the group’s love of cyberpunk aesthetics and steampunk design together with a purpose of the escapement, which is maintaining balance. This name greatly represents the project aesthetically and spiritually.

Escapement is a force of lyrical/vocal prowess, atmospheric yet technical keyboard work, dark and heavy guitars, and banging drums. This year in 2021 there are plans to release new material including singles, music videos, and the writing of an upcoming debut album. As the world returns closer to normal, fans can expect a band that sounds as great playing live as it does recorded.
