8SNAKE (formally Francesco Fonte Band) had this to say about their new video:
We have a new video and we are changing our name!
After a successful year on from the release of our latest album ‘Eight’ (2018) followed by ‘Desert And The Moon Light’ European tour we are happy to release this live video of ‘Sun’ at Renaissance Festival 2018. As we are now ready to break through a new season and start working on new material we are excited to announce our new name 8SNAKE. There will be no changes to the formation of the band and we are ready to rock more stages. 8SNAKE as the band will now be known are looking forward to working on new material and expanding the scope of sounds that make this band unique.

‘Sun’
Sun is the second song of ‘Eight’ the latest album of 8SNAKE formally Francesco Fonte Band. The track represents the characteristics of the entire album very well. It’s progression goes through different genres without a hitch, creating a proper journey.
The track includes some stoner guitars but still keeps the psychedelic concept which is leading the song. The lyrics denounce religions as barriers that stop people from discovering their own spirituality and make them lose the sense of reality.
‘I want to escape my body is dying, no time to sleep, no time to be’
is a line in the song about the frenetic rhythm in which we have to throw our life to keep ourselves alive, in a system that doesn’t give us the time to analyse our existence, and real meaning of life.
