Progressive metal force CRUCIAL VELOCITY has officially released the music video for the title track “Controller”. Following the success of their sophomore album “Controller”, released on January 10, 2025, the band continues to push boundaries with thought-provoking themes and razor-sharp musicianship.
“Controller” – Who is Really in Control
The title track and its video explore the overwhelming influence of technology on our daily lives. In a world where people rely on their devices for information, entertainment, and even social interaction, “Controller” raises the question: Are we in control of technology, or has it taken control of us?
Nate Bauer, songwriter and mastermind behind the band states: “We rely on it. We feed on it. We are entertained by it. We get our news from it. Over time, the cell phone has become the ‘Controller’. We have become slaves to technology, but… who is really in control?”
