Madder Mortem Posts "Fallow Season" Video Clip

"Red In Tooth And Claw" is the sixth full-length studio offering from Norwegian avant-garde metal collective, Madder Mortem.

Set for release next week via Dark Essence Records, the band's first album in seven long years was captured by guitarist BP M. Kirkevaag, mastered by Peter In de Betou. and comes shrouded in the artwork of Christian Ruud (Tristania, Frantic Bleep).

As a precursor to its release, today a visual accompaniment to the "Fallow Season" single can be seen below. Vocalist Agnete M. Kirkevaag elaborates:

"'Fallow Season' was recorded at an abandoned sawmill in our home town. This mill was once a large plant, the pride of the small local community, but was decommissioned in 1996.

"In the twenty-years that have passed, nature has started to reclaim the plant, and its buildings have been left to decay. The lyrics of 'Fallow Season' deal with how greed and religion, as driving forces behind humanity's self-destructive behavior, are speeding our progress towards an apocalypse.

"The song suggests that perhaps this is what is needed: a cataclysm that will reduce our current civilization to rubble, and let nature reclaim some territory. Perhaps what we need is such a fallow season to rethink our priorities."
