September Mourning unveils “20 Below”

This is September Mourning.

They are not a band, per se, but a ‘transmedia dark culture’ art project created by Emily Lazar (singer) and Marc Silvestri (noted comic book artist and CEO of comic book publisher Top Cow Productions).

The protagonist of the story is the beautiful September – a half human, half reaper hybrid (played onstage by Lazar) who navigates between the world of the living and the dead.

Through released music, comic books, and live concerts, the story of September is revealed.

The band has released the latest chapter in their music video, “20 Below”. Musically, it’s a dramatic, gothic, dark metal, filled with Lazar’s velvet howl that punches through the stutter stop crunches and soaring melodies.

Lazar comments:

“’20 Below’ is about ending the cycle of abuse within our own lives, whether it’s self inflicted or from an outside source. We’ve all had those relationships where someone has gotten close to us, abuses us in some way… knocks us down so hard it diminishes our self esteem. ’20 Below’ is about the realization that the beat down feeling and feelings of worthlessness are untrue and being caused by some external negativity. It’s about being strong enough within your own self to rise above. There are no saviors or Messiah coming to save us. There’s only the strength in our hearts and our souls, which is greater than we can even conceive. It’s great enough to be the catalyst to save our own selves if we find a way to tap into that part of ourselves.”

2017 sees the band out on tour with Dope and Combichrist.
