Athenian metal powerhouse DESERT NEAR THE END have released the official video for the song “Half-Learned and Long Forgotten”, from their album “Tides of Time”, available via Theogonia Records.

“Half-Learned and Long Forgotten” delves into themes of fading knowledge and the heavy burden of half-truths etched in time. Combining relentless riffs, haunting melodies and a powerful lyrical narrative, the track is a prime example of the band’s signature blend of Power/Thrash Metal with the raw ferocity of Death and Black Metal.

This new visual chapter selects the cinematic universe of “Tides of Time”, exploring legacy, loss and resistance against historical decay. The piece is not just music – it is a statement for all those who carry the weight of forgotten truths and struggle to reclaim meaning in a fragmented world.
