I do know I’m most likely hella late to the sport right here, however The Armed are most likely amongst my favourite private “discoveries” of this 12 months. Sure, I do know they’ve been round a very long time however I’d by no means given them an opportunity till their promotional cycle for his or her newly launched album THE FUTURE IS HERE AND EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.
So once they teamed up with Detroit-based monsters Prostitute for a observe on the brand new album, I knew I had to take a look at the video when it launched. And now you need to too. It’s a loud, sonic overload trying to hit you proper within the senses. And it’s actually fucking heavy, too.
Then there’s the video, which is only a wild fever dream caught on VHS tape. I’ve by no means executed psychedelics, however I really feel like that is near what a nasty journey at a noise rock present would really feel like. Simply cacophony, fucked up visible artifacts, and an uncertain sense of what comes subsequent.
