SIX STEPS FORWARD Featuring Cieślak of LAST PENANCE Unveil Powerful New Music Video ‘PAREIDOLIA’

Kraków, Poland — Kraków-based metalcore outfit SIX STEPS FORWARD introduce their latest sonic assault with the official music video for “PAREIDOLIA”, featuring guest vocals by Cieślak of LAST PENANCE. The track stands as the third single from their EP The Grim Verse, released on December 9th, 2024, and captures the band’s evolution through unrelenting aggression and emotional precision.

From the first note, “PAREIDOLIA” moves with driven momentum: syncopated guitar chugs crash into melodic lead lines, blast beats collapse into hooking breakdowns, and Cieślak’s guest performance injects raw ferocity into the mix. The lyrics speak to the illusions we chase and the shadows we become, as the band explores perception, identity and confrontation through visceral instrumentation. Six Steps Forward
