Power metal straight from Sweden! It’s Veonity, singing about the fifth element, which in this instance is not Leelu Dallas Multipass.

It’s very epic and noodly, using rad guitar work to bridge verses. The vocals are solid, very apt for a power metal act. Apparently this is a new singer, and he’s got a great voice. There are a couple thematic changes within the song, not just a coda, but like almost feeling like a different song. I guess it’s to highlight the epicness of the power of the fifth element. And going from singing chorally into a drum solo for the coda is pretty rad.

It’s a lyric video, but there are some additional visuals, like of a guy wandering around and a king. But it looks like it’s AI-generated, which is kind of a bummer. Just pay someone to actually make visuals, or shoot an actual video. AI videos just look like borderline uncanny valley nonsense; I’m sure there’s even stock videos of this kind of stuff they could use. Hell, use clips from The Fifth Element and pay Luc Besson some money. I bet he’d dig it.

But otherwise it’s a pretty solid song, so give it a listen!
