Night’s Edge Premiere Their “Love Fiction” Music Video

You’re going for a ride today with the premiere of the music video for “Love Fiction,” the latest single from Night’s Edge. A cool visual accompaniment, the premise of the video, a sped-up night drive of the city and the freeway, complements the song’s intensity well.

The single is from the band’s latest record, The World That Never Was. Featuring eleven new tracks, the album is set to be released on August 21st. “Love Fiction” is an introduction to this era of Night’s Edge, their third full-length since first emerging in 2018.

The song is a profound reflection on depression and mental health. It romanticizes depression, likening it to a partner who is always there for someone as if the condition itself has become a security blanket.

Discussing the song further, the band states:

“‘Love Fiction’ is different from any other song we have written. The music is more straightforward than typical Night’s Edge fare, allowing for a density of sound and a showcase of the song’s vulnerable vocal performance. The lyrics are a major focus of Love Fiction, and the soft falsetto to loud belting delivery of the words conveys the complex feelings behind the song. The song personifies depression into a romantic partner, one who is always patient and ever present.”

The theme of “Love Fiction” feeds into the concepts and ideas present in The World That Never Was. The album itself is an exploration of the loss of self-identity that manifests into obsession, rage, and uncertainty. By the time the final three songs come, the protagonist arrives in a world with no people. The only one left to face is themselves, and they come face to face with their own identity.

Musically, the record is a combination of different styles of rock and heavy metal. They are kind of neither a rock act nor a metal act. But that variety of style and open-mindedness is what helps the band thrive musically. Night’s Edge is always striving to top themselves, recording purposeful music that isn’t influenced by what’s popular or of the times. It’s familiar enough to reel you in, and then you’re all too willing to stay for their combination of musical originality and straight-from-the-heart authenticity.
