Nightmares on Wax return today with an epic new track called “Back to Nature.” Featuring exquisitely crafted production, as well as rousing vocal sentiments from shaman Kuauthli Vasquez, the new cut was inspired by visiting the Yucatan jungle and witnessing the ancient Peyote ceremonies. Discussing the new track, Nightmares’ George Evelyn explains:
“”Back To Nature” is a reminder of our relationship to nature, something amazing that we are all a part of. In the modern world, it’s become easy to forget that, to have the idea that nature is something that happens in the background to the human race. When in reality, we are an inherent part of it.”
The video for the track is directed by Joăo Pombeiro, and its’ amazing animated sequences were created from magazine, postcard, and vintage film cut-ups. This colorful and graphic array of 2-D source material is then arranged in 3-D space to create teaming landscapes that echo the track’s atavistic urges. Traveling from our ancient origins thru time, we see humankind’s’ connection to nature slowly eclipsed and replaced by the destructive forces of industry and commerce. Coupled with the shaman’s message that humans, earth, and Spirit are One, “Back To Nature” is a potent reminder of our essential Unity and that humans are the stewards of the Earth’s bounty.
