Through Hallow Leaves is The FloodShark’s Autumnal Reverence

The FloodShark’s song Through Hallow Leaves, originally released eight years ago as part of the ‘The Black Butterfly’ series, has now been returned as a 2025 Halloween music video, and the artist’s visuals eerily capture the track’s mood.
Autumn symbolizes a time to shed what no longer serves us. It is a pause before stillness, pretending to be dead like winter, before the new emerges. In Through Hallow Leaves, The FloodShark seizes these fleeting autumn moments and transforms its deep, meaningful existence into a play of musical keys. The artist blends the sweet, nonchalant sound of nature with the sinister undertones of autumnal death. Shimmering synths enhance the spookiness, while soul-soothing piano balances its warmth.

The music video invites us into a dimly lit sonic forest painted with psychedelic hues. The track opens with sounds that announce autumn’s arrival. It weaves together elements of nature and man-created machinery in a creative way. The FloodShark meticulously captures the ethereal sounds of the season. The chilly autumn breeze, the falling of the leaves, birds’ calls that feel like warnings, the ghostly crunch of invisible feet, the fading light, the smell of change in the air, the approach of decay, and the hovering shadow of human angst.
