On April 8th, 2025– Estonia’s metalcore band PRIDIAN released their fifth single “Endless” with a video alongside it that justifies to what I always state about bands in other countries meaning I need to leave the United States and go explore different countries because the musical talent in these other countries is remarkable. The video for this single you can see the musicians being surrounded by white sheets which could indicate secrecy adding that mysterious aesthetic vibe that the band want’s to express in this single. With the video going from a moody green/blue to a black and white cinematic look demonstrates in my opinion emotional turmoil from having a hint of humanity left in you to losing the light of life. This single is so haunting yet chaotic at the same time. “Endless” is one of those songs that will give you a whole body chill that causes you to re-think the true meaning behind the lyrics.
“There’s something about the way they look at me now. Like I’m a symbol of something I never agreed to. A shape. A signal. A convincing surface. I’ve kept quiet long enough for them to mistake that for agreement. I’ve stood in their ceremonies, watched them raise empty words like banners. I echo their language without saying anything of my own. Not because I believe, but because it’s easier than being exposed. They don’t want truth. They want symmetry. Clean lines. No noise. I can still feel – The thing they’ve forgotten how to name. And I know they see it flicker in me, even if they don’t understand it. Maybe that’s why they keep me close. Maybe that’s what they’re afraid of. Society moves like a machine: polished, efficient, and emotionally numb. It performs belief but doesn’t feel it. It repeats the shape of meaning, but not the soul of it.” – Laur Lindmäe (Vocals)

“Looking at it on a larger scale, I believe that humanity has lost its connection with nature, the planet, and even itself. We relentlessly exploit every last resource, driven by profit and greed. Our ideologies have grown superficial, and we are becoming less and less empathetic. Even if we end up destroying the Earth, we seem to have this cockroach-like ability to survive. We’ll likely figure out how to launch ourselves into space, discover another planet to inhabit, and start the cycle all over again.” – Laur Lindmäe (Vocals)
