I’ve been a fan of Norway’s Barren Womb since their 2014 debut, The Solar’s Not Yellow, It’s Rooster. The duo of Timo Silvola (drums) and Tony Gonzahl (guitar/vocals) have since delivered common choices of angular and pulsating “digital rock/noise/hardcore” that land someplace between the Refused, Daughters and NoMeansNo on one finish, and the “Bigs” (Enterprise and Black) on the opposite. Their fifth album, Chemical Tardigrade was issued final yr and the pair have been hitting the blacktop fairly laborious since, together with a visit abroad final summer season. As they gear up for one more run of dates, alongside comes their newest video for the only “Bug Out Bag.” And at this time we’re premiering stated video. Form of.
Directed by transgressive director/photographer/artist/musician, Hanna Fauske, the most recent Barren Womb video has already been aired at brief movie festivals in Tromsø and their native Trondheim. However exterior of Scandinavian artwork homes, Decibel has managed first non-Euro dibs and a-way we go!
Drummer Silvola had this to say concerning the video and dealing with the Norwegian up to date artwork scene legend: “It was a enjoyable course of being on the shoot with Hanna, which normally entails bizarre make-up, smokes and one thing disgusting. Fortunately for us she skipped the disgusting half! The spark for this little pyromaniac ditty got here within the type of a just lately freed jailbird. I used to be chilling out in my native park one night time after I encountered this amphetamine-hazed road urchin. He was constructing a bonfire of books below this historic maple tree. I took upon myself the duty of speaking the man out of this atrocity and the heated dialogue turned the lyrics for the tune. I’m proud to report that no books have been burnt that night time! We’ve labored with Hanna on a number of events from picture shoots and movies to enjoying in a band collectively (Twin Serpent). She’s an absolute powerhouse of the bizarre and you may take a look at a few of her artwork at hannafauske.com.”
