Portugalska black metal zasedba Gaerea je objavila najnovejši video za komad Dormant. Tokrat gre za poseben video, ki ga je posnel Claudio Marino. Komentar banda:

»Complementing the song's aural journey, the video art installation accompanying "Dormant" delves into the anguish and struggle for survival. The visuals depict the main character, trapped and enclosed in a tormenting world, as water relentlessly pours over his body, simulating drowning and suffocation. This immersive and visceral experience offers a harrowing glimpse into the protagonist's fight for life, evoking a range of emotions and challenging viewers to confront their own mortality.«
