Slovenian modern metal band INMATE has released their latest music video for the single Let the Dead Bury Their Dead, now available on all official platforms.
The song is a gripping reflection on inner transformation. Lyrically, it delves into the struggle of shedding emotional weight — guilt, regret, and fear — in order to reclaim one’s strength and purpose. Drawing from the symbolic meaning of its title, the track is a powerful call to bury the remnants of a broken past and step forward into a more authentic and liberated existence.
The music video was filmed at the Thermal Power Plant Šoštanj, a location chosen for its raw industrial energy and visual symbolism. The setting enhances the song’s themes of decay and renewal. Directed by Marko Duplišak, INMATE’s vocalist, the video combines stark performance shots with striking imagery to portray the emotional journey from collapse to awakening.
In Loving Memory of Andrej Bezjak (1977–2024)
It is with heavy hearts that we honor the memory of our dear friend and brother, Andrej Bezjak.
Andrej was more than just a part of our journey — he was a passionate supporter, a constant presence, and a soul whose energy left a lasting mark on everyone he met. His love for music, his unwavering spirit, and his belief in what we do will forever echo in every note we play.
Though he is no longer with us, his light continues to guide us.
The music video for Let the Dead Bury Their Dead is dedicated to his memory.
This one is for you, Andrej.
Rest in power.

LYRICS
We are weighted down by all the things in our lives
The less we have in life, the less we have to worry about
Just leave it!
Let the dead bury their dead!
Leave it!
There’s nothing to take to the other side
We feel imprisoned inside ourselves
We feel so empty inside ourselves
We feel imprisoned inside ourselves
Without Your guidance we are so lost
What do we support? Do we encourage life or death?
Who will we remember at the time of our death?
Wasting!
Why are we wasting precious time for…
For stupid things that keep us down?
This time I’m ready for anything
This time I’m ready to follow You
We feel imprisoned inside ourselves
Let the dead bury their dead!
This time I’m ready for anything
I’ll follow You with trust
I’ll follow You with trust
This time I’m ready to follow You
To You I open myself
To You I open myself
To You I open myself
I’m ready to follow You with trust
I’m ready to follow You with trust
Let the dead bury their dead, ’cause their spirit’s dead
Material life is always fearful
So God, please save us
We feel imprisoned inside ourselves
We feel so empty inside ourselves
We feel imprisoned inside ourselves
We feel so empty inside ourselves
