Mental Torment — PISOK (Official Music Video)

Mental Torment exposes the artist’s consciousness where ghostly beauty and the tragic struggle of lonely creativity are intertwined with soul torture.

In the early twentieth century, Ukrainian culture was being killed. Each of its creators felt that they could be the next to die-and often did. The only way to save oneself was to be silent. But silence was not an option.

The need to unleash the soul, the desire to tell the whole world what was gnawing, burning, and suffocating overwhelmed the fear of death. Each word burned, each page brought death closer, and the crows of inevitability flew from the deep pit of consciousness. They carried oblivion and destruction.

Not everyone survived. In the tortuousness of the burning consciousness, they got lost and called for death on their own. They took it into their own hands and reveled in it. Was this a weakness? Can someone who conquers oblivion and the unknown be weak?

Mental Torment did not show a clip — they captured a person and their suffering, which is impossible to refuse. This is a dive into everyone’s personal story, which pulls you deeper and deeper. To the place where life begins.
