Psy'Aviah - "Virtual Gods"

One band that just doesn't get enough love is Psy'Aviah. These people are experts in regard to making their music have a modern feel. They are really good at being able to convey the cold, dark, urban mood within their music, which they do in "Virtual Gods", but they are no stranger to warmth and fuzzies, either, as is shown in "Song of Independence".


There is a certain sleek quality to the "Virtual Gods" video. It's a beautiful mesh of footage of the anonymity of city life at night and a blend of old-fashioned hacker culture and the consequences of new-style Internet proliferation. The song is seemingly about how modern technological interaction desensitizes people and makes them seemingly lack empathy (with possibly real-world ramifications). I definitely recommend this to any industrial rock fans who want some European flair.
