In this new music video, we worked together with Belgian director Hans Pannecoucke. He knows how to create a show around music: Hans designed the Eurovision Song Contest-act for Duncan Laurence - winner of the contest in 2019. In our video, a large centerpiece art object made of many different lights symbolizes the ancient Persian Fire Temple that inspired Colin Jacobsen to write Atashgah, a homage to Iranian kamancheh-virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor.

Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while playing video games.
Immediately stop watching and consult a doctor if you experience any symptoms.
