The band’s most recent single from Fortitude, The Chant, is out now. Filmed on location in India’s West Bengal region in December 2019, the striking video for the song examines the plight of refugee children from Tibet who fled their homeland in an attempt to preserve their culture following China’s invasion of the country in 1949.
