Cleveland hardcore/thrash heavyweights RINGWORM have just shared a new music video from their forthcoming full-length Snake Church via Stereogum, who stated that “[RINGWORM have] refined absurdly tough-sounding stompfests down to a science.” Additionally, the band’s Human Furnace described the video,
“”Not horror, but more of a twisted love tale that accompanies the song. The story segments of the video where taken from a short film of the same name, “Shades of Blue”. It’s a sequel, a part 2. It picks up where the story told in the 2005 Ringworm video Justice Replaced by Revenge leaves off. Surprisingly, the entire project came together quite organically, despite being shot 11 years apart. We were able to get the same lead actors that we used 11 years ago and we were able to combine the original JRBR (Justice Replaced by Revenge) footage, current footage and secondary footage, (shot later) to tell the second part of the story. The Shades video tells part of that story that is fully revealed in the short film.”
Watch “Shades Of Blue” now at this location.
Also, you can watch the official music video for the title track “Snake Church” (directed by Don Tyler) here:
Legendary Cleveland quintet RINGWORM‘s 8th full-length album Snake Church is a 12-track, 30+ minute testament of vicious aggression. After having converted metalheads and hardcore fans alike with their intense, no-holds-barred live shows and consistently punishing albums over the course of the last 25+ years, RINGWORM once again prove that they are in a league of their own when it comes to face-breaking sonic fury. Recorded and produced by Ben Schigel (Chimaira, ZAO) at Spider Studios and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Nails, Xibalba, Black Breath), Snake Church obliterates the listener and never relents, leaving nothing but bile and bone in its wake.
Snake Church is due out this July 29 on CD/LP/Digital via Relapse. Physical pre-orders can be found at this location, and digital pre-orders are available via the band’s Bandcamp page here.
