Scar Of The Sun have released a video for the song 'Among Waters And Giants', taken from the band’s latest album 'In Flood', available on Scarlet Records.
Watch the video here:
The video was directed by Achilleas Gatsopoulos, who is responsible for the band’s overall visual identity. Achilleas is credited in many feature films but has also worked with bands such as Dark Tranquillity, Candlemass, Steven Wilson, Arcturus, Faun and Nightfall among others, as well as creating visuals/videos for Pet Shop Boys, Skin (Skunk Anansie), James Blunt, Erick Morillo and others.
The video is a visual manifestation of the monolithic presence of the song’s powerful melodies, while at the same time employing the technique of multiple exposure and combining different layers of band performance and archetypal characters to bring to life the album’s visual motifs in a minimal context.
Scar Of The Sun is a Modern Metal band from Athens, Greece. Starting out as a Modern Atmospheric Metal outfit, they progressively evolved their sound into a fresh mix of Metalcore and Djent. They released 2 albums so far, ‘A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies’ (2013) and ‘In Flood’ (2016), and toured the world relentlessly. A new album is in the works and will be announced very soon.

BIOGRAPHY
SCAR OF THE SUN is a new and rapidly upcoming modern/mainstream metal band, that through a string of important live appearances and hard work in the studio, it is trying to leave its mark to the contemporary metal scene.
The band was formed in London, UK and the current line up consists of Terry Nikas (vocals), Alexi Charalambous and Greg Eleftheriou (guitars), Panagiotis Gkatsopoulos (bass) and Thanos Pappas (drums).
After a very successful promo CD, SOTS entered the studio in order to record their debut album. The band managed to stir the interest of high-profile producer Rhys Fulber (PARADISE LOST, FEAR FACTORY, MACHINE HEAD, etc) who co-produced and mixed the album. Apart from Rhys Fulber, the band also had the honour of collaborating with Greg Reely (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, THEATRE OF TRAGEDY, THE TEA PARTY, COLDPLAY etc.), who took over the mastering process of the album and along with Rhys Fulber created an outstanding result.
The debut album is titled "A Series Of Unfortunate Concurrencies" and contain guest appearances by Mikael Stanne (DARK TRANQUILLITY), Bob Katsionis (FIREWIND), Marios Iliopoulos (NIGHTRAGE), Chris Antoniou (SEPTIC FLESH) and Leah Randi (CONJURE ONE).
The sound of the album is multi-dimensional, blending smoothly many elements and influences, but the sound of the band can be described overall as modern atmospheric metal with lots of heaviness and drama, all funnelled through SOTS' unique style of sound.
For the promotion of the album the band shot two videos with famous director/animator/designer Achilleas Gatsopoulos, along with Bob Katsionis (FIREWIND), for the songs "Swansong of Senses" and "Disciple Of The Sun"
After a series of very successful one off live appearances both in Greece and in Europe along bands like PAIN OF SALVATION, DARK TRANQUILLITY, PARADISE LOST, FIREWIND, KATATONIA etc and a slot on Greece’s biggest summer festival ‘ROCKWAVE FESTIVAL’ next to SLIPKNOT, MASTODON, DOWN, and many others, SOTS signed a deal with famous Italian record label Scarlet Records, and the debut album was released worldwide in June 2011.
The release of the album was supported by two very successful European tours within 2012, the first being Metal Firestorm tour with RAGE, TYR and COMMUNIC, and the second being Into Darkness tour, with PAIN, MOONSPELL, SWALLOW THE SUN and LAKE OF TEARS a few months later.
Currently the band is working on their new album, and a release date will be announced soon.
