Behind The Scenes: CASCADE EFFECT - Rogue Wave (Official Video)

Dustin Keimig: The personal connection to “Rogue Wave” comes from looking at the world around me and realizing how easy it is to lose sight of what actually matters. We’re constantly connected to devices, information, algorithms, and opinions, yet somehow it feels like people are becoming more disconnected from each other. At the same time, I’m aging, watching people I care about age, lose loved ones, experience unexpected tragedy, or sometimes disappear from our lives entirely. It makes me think about how important it is to appreciate the people and experiences we have while they’re still here. The real world is right in front of us, and I don’t want to let it pass by because I was too consumed by all the noise. This video also represents a major step forward for Cascade Effect. Everything we had done previously was largely DIY, whereas this was our first experience working with a full professional production team that could take our ideas and help us fully realize them. “Rogue Wave” is also the newest song on the album and feels like a good representation of where the band is now: aggressive and melodic, but with a strong emotional core.
