5RAND have unleashed the official video for "Double Bind", the last single taken from the band's third album, "Ordhalia".
With "Double Bind", Italian modern melodic death metal force 5RAND deliver their most personal and psychologically intense track to date.
Written and performed by Julia Elenoir, Psychologist, Psychotherapist and songwriter, the song embodies a rare convergence of clinical insight and lived experience, transforming a complex psychological reality into a visceral sonic and visual journey.
"Double Bind" takes its name from a concept introduced by Gregory Bateson, describing a devastating relational paradox: when the person you depend on for emotional survival sends you contradictory signals that fracture your sense of self.
Through crushing riffs, cinematic atmospheres and the visceral duality of Julia Elenoir’s growls and haunting clean vocals, the song gives voice to that inner war.
The official video goes even deeper portraying Julia’s real Psychotherapy journey. A painful confrontation with buried truths. A descent into darkness that ultimately becomes transformation.
Because healing is not the absence of pain.
It is the courage to enter it, to honor it and to allow it to reshape you.
Pain is not something to erase.
It is something to face, to endure and ultimately to transform.
What was once unbearable becomes the very force that gives you structure, depth, and truth.
"Double Bind" is not just a song.
It is the sound of breaking and becoming whole again.
"Ordhalia” was produced by Marco Mastrobuono (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth).
