Progressive Brazilian metallers JACK THE JOKER are pleased to share their new single and accompanying lyric video, “Sun," out now via Frontiers Music Srl.
Notorious for incorporating traditional influences from their local culture, JACK THE JOKERincludes musical styles such as maracatu, forró, baião, and frevo. Their unique sound draws inspiration from the eponymous renowned Brazilian novel and explores the metaphysical backlands, where humanity will prevail against the hostility of nature.
Commenting on the new single, the band stated:
“'Sun' refers to the vengeful star that both gives life and takes it away: an allusion to an abusive relationship, in which emotional dependencies are fed by crumbs of affection and countered by emotional abuse”.
