A music video accompanies BEYOND OUR SIGHT’s return with ‘Ouroboros’, their new single following six years away. The Belgian six-piece combine melodic metalcore with a modern sonic approach, bringing heavy guitar riffs, melodic hooks and intense vocals into the release.
The song takes its name from the ancient image of a serpent devouring its own tail. Its subject is the destructive, repeating cycles that can trap individuals and humanity, with the contrast between melody and heavier riffs reflecting that theme.
The band explain: “We wanted to capture the nostalgic energy of early 2000s metalcore while injecting it with the heaviness and production standards of today. The contrast between the melodies and the crushing riffs in 'Ouroboros' reflects the constant cycle of creation and destruction.”
The accompanying video is presented as a visual extension of the track’s atmosphere. ‘Ouroboros’ is available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.
BEYOND OUR SIGHT hail from Ghent and the surrounding area. Formed by six friends with different influences and stories, the band played shows across Belgium, recorded an EP and released two music videos before the pandemic. Shifting priorities brought that period to a close with a final show in 2020. Six years later, friendship and a shared interest in making music brought the members back together, with a return to the stage also part of their stated intentions.
The biography supplied with the announcement sums up the return with the line, “Some chains never break, they close”. The lineup consists of Michael on vocals; Hans on guitar; Michiel on guitar and vocals; PJ on bass; Mattias on drums; and Frédéric on guitar.
