The official animated video for noises creates the perfect atmosphere for this song about a journey to your own heart (and head): “Now I’m sitting in a room / noises are my only friends / I rather focus on what’s true / than on people’s same old chants”. The fast-moving images and strong, dark colors manifest the inner fight for peace in an impressive, deeply moving way, with some animations reminiscent of the Rorschach inkblot test while other scenes show solitary individuals in forsaken settings, absorbed in music and their own thoughts.

The title imago – which is the name of the final track as well – comes from the last phase of development of growth for insects. While caterpillars are going through their imago stage, they become butterflies, free creatures with unique colors and a past. Summing up the album’s essence, Blagonič says: “It’s a metaphor for going through a bunch of hardships, yet in the end, spreading your wings as a beautiful butterfly, and moving forward better, stronger, more connected with yourself and more beautiful, especially on the inside. That’s why there is a butterfly on our album cover. But as you will notice, the butterfly still has slightly burnt and damaged wings – that is because when going through hardships, you can never just 'forget' or 'erase' what you’ve gone through, trauma will always stay with you, forever. But if you accept it, understand it (and yourself) and learn from it, you can still blossom into a beautiful butterfly, full of love and full of life.”
The musical journey of Hei’An may have just begun – but with their highly lyrical, artistic approach toward heavy music, they are set to have a bright future in post-modern metal.
