Wyvern Lingo keep on moving ahead of the pack with the release of ‘Out Of My Hands’, their most candid, politicized song to date. Karen from the band says: “’Out of My Hands’ was inspired by a man I met in a pub, the night of the Home Sweet Home / Occupy Nama demonstration. He was completely cynical towards activism. I tried to get inside his head, that mistrust and negativity on the refugee crisis, homelessness in Ireland, and the Repeal the 8th movement.

As a wise old Irishman once said: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ‘Out Of My Hands’ challenges both apathy and skepticism, and asks some difficult questions about our daily engagement, both political and personal, with the world around us.

 ‘Out Of My Hands’ comes hot on the trail of the stereotype challenging radio smash ‘I Love You, Sadie’, as Wyvern Lingo once again show themselves to be the sharp social commentators that you can get down and dance to.

Akercocke present their first promo video from the new album Renaissance in Extremis. The video has been directed by Khaled Lowe. The treatment produced by Khaled and his team mirrors the story of the protagonist in the song. The dark surrealism sees the central character at the ultimate point of personal despair.

Despite his plans to end it all, he realises that it is not his time. That there is still hope. It’s a skilful, visually told story about coming back from an emotional and psychological brink. Khaled and his team used their creative vision and technical expertise to tell the story perfectly. Utilising 4K Steadicam, time-lapse and drone cameras, the final result is a haunting, visual feast.
