ELEMENT OF FATE, a Melodic Symphonic/Gothic metal project consisting of fantasy artist and vocalist, Carol Phillips, and guitarist/musician, Scott Loose (Stellar Death, While Heaven Wept, et al), has released the official video for “Night Winds.” Originally released in 2023, the track has been remastered and remixed for this special video release.
“Night Winds” explores the themes of loss, betrayal, grief and redemption. It tells the story of a woman who flees into the forest after a bitter quarrel with her lover. Overwhelmed by pain and anger and grief, she seeks the wisdom of the night winds, the ancient spirits of her ancestors. She yearns for love and acceptance and she struggles to find courage in her darkest moment longing to be free of her sorrows. She wishes to atone for her faults and learn to forgive again. With a heavy heart, she surrenders herself to the night. She is then transformed into a phantom spirit, who is fated to roam the woods forevermore. In the hour of the wolf, she discovers new life, love, forgiveness, and rebirth in the realm of the deceased.
