Formless State have released the official music video for “Forward”, a cold industrial and darkwave track built on mechanical repetition, metallic textures and detached female vocals. The “Forward” video pairs the song with a science-fiction, machine-world setting that follows a lone operator moving through fog, heat and steel.

Formless State is an electronic project working between minimal darkwave, industrial electronic and machine-world science fiction, with a cold, repetitive and cinematic approach.

Watch the video.

Inside Formless State’s ‘Forward’

The track holds to a rigid, repetitive structure, with the detached vocal set against harsh mechanical sound and metal textures. The accompanying visual keeps to a single idea of forward motion, setting the song’s industrial cadence against a stark machine-world backdrop rather than a performance clip.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
