QUEMASANTOS – “The Oneironaut” Lyric Video Premiere

The international metal project Quemasantos returns with a haunting new visual experience: the official lyric video for “The Oneironaut”, a track inspired by the 19th-century writings of Allan Kardec on “journeys of the soul.” In this modern reinterpretation, the band transforms those spiritual ideas into a nightmarish, inter-dimensional voyage that unfolds within the realm of dreams.

Nelson Díaz commented:

“It’s a song inspired by the 19th-century writings of Allan Kardec on what he called ‘journeys of the soul.’ Today, we could interpret it as a nightmarish vision of an interdimensional journey experienced during sleep.”

Ignacio Orellana added:

“As we’ve been releasing one track after another, the sound has been evolving in search of what we truly want it to be. As the musician behind the music, it’s been challenging to balance the instruments so that each one shines — because each represents a part of the creator’s soul. I feel that this one leans a little more toward the drums’ side… but the bass, the bass. We’re preparing a few more surprises — stay tuned and be ready to be surprised.”

New York / Santiago, October 2025 — International metal project Quemasantos returns with a chilling and evocative new single, “The Oneironaut,” available now for streaming and download on Bandcamp. 

Blurring the boundaries between dreams and nightmares, The Oneironaut explores the existential terror of being trapped in a world beyond reason — where even the laws of physics unravel. The band describes it as:

“The oneironaut shows the anguish of being trapped in a world beyond your control, where not even the laws of physics apply. A dimension of horror you could visit every night.” 

Musical & Lyrical Highlights

• The track opens with an immersive, atmospheric surge of darkness and light, establishing an electric, unsettling mood.

• Lyrically, the song wrestles with identity and fear:
  “I’m trapped in a dreamlike world, full of darkness and light … I struggle to wake up from the nightmare and return.”

• The chorus evokes the persona of the Oneironaut — “He can’t escape … Presences around … A world in white noise.”

• A guest guitar solo by Chris Irarrazaval (Nimrod) adds a piercing tone and texture to the sonic palette.
