The Heresiarch is the new video from Giant The Vine, premiered on May 13th.
The song is taken from Giant The Vine latest album A Chair at the Backdoor (Luminol Records, 2023) and is for sure the peak of the full-length.
Angular, pulsating, dynamic and resonating with alternative and post-punk influences, The Heresiarch is a straightforward song, commanding attention.
The video, essential but powerful, uses darkness and lights to highlight the dynamics and the moods of the songs, visually empowering the rhythm's switches and the crescendos.

The track is inspired by the life of Dolcino, a famous heresiarch from early 1300, who took to the extreme the rebellion started by Saint Francis of Assisi, preaching men-women equality, refusing the role of the Church as medium between mankind and God, and living in a sort of hippie commune with no personal belongings.
Accused of Heresy by the Pope, Dolcino was executed by the civil authority with his co-preacher or concubine Margaret of Trent, and his body was cut into pieces and burned.
