Do As Infinity are set to release their first new single in nearly a year, Alive / Iron Hornet, on June 28th.

Japanese composer and musician Sawano Hiroyuki is responsible for producing the release. Sawano has worked on numerous big hit anime, dramas and movies, including Attack on Titan, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, and popular cool drama series Crisis: Kouan Kidou Sousatai Tokusou-han.

Do As Infinity pulled back the curtain on the music video for the first track on Alive on June 15th.

The music video begins by speeding rapidly through the tunnel of some kind of machine. As we reach the end of it, we see a human figure created by the machine. There is definitely something more at work here than at first glance. It seems to be hinting around the idea of human clones, and how the human race is under total control of machinery and technology.

We then see a projection of today’s Tokyo and a contrast between the everyday citizen and the people of the future turned into machines.

If you purchase the DVD edition of the new single you’ll be able to watch the full video and see where exactly this video takes you.

The production group behind this video is the creative team BRDG. They are well known for their electronic music and film fusion event of the same name (BRDG), which is used as a creative platform for bringing together film and music. BRDG’s projects have been well-received around the world and they maintain some very dedicated overseas fans.

BRDG have brought to life a new kind of vision of Do As Infinity with their work on Alive, in the form of a full CG video. Be sure to check the video out for yourself and pick up a copy of the single to see the whole thing.

Do As Infinity recently unveiled the announcement of a long-awaited new single – the first in almost a year – which is to be released on June 28^th. The title of the upcoming release is “Alive / Iron Hornet.”

The person in charge of the sound production for the single is none other than Hiroyuki Sawano, who is responsible for having worked on music for numerous anime, dramas and movies such as “Attack on Titan,” “Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn,” and “Platinum Data” to name a few.

A new visual for the band’s upcoming single has just been revealed, showcasing them in an all new light: we see the figures of both members emerging from the darkness looking cool.

The actual CD jackets for “Alive / Iron Hornet” come in two versions, displaying vivid blue and orange spheres respectively. But they also leave a mysterious impression as not only do they look like eyes, but also like planets – specifically earth and mars. This air of mystery is emphasised in the teaser trailer for the single, where we see some strange, enigmatic symbols or hieroglyphics that seem to bear some kind of message, or point at some kind of foreshadowing.
