Video Clip For New Song "Locust Christ" Issued By Lo!

October 6th marks the official unveiling of "Vestigial," the impending third full-length from Sydney, Australia-based post-metal/sludge unit Lo! Well-crafted with a larger scope both musically and thematically than previous outings, Vestigial finds the band tighter than ever before boasting a sound that's seismically heavy yet organic, with a mammoth harmonic density behind their stupefying heavy riffs.

In advance of its release, the band premiered the video clip for the new song "Locust Christ" over at Invisible Oranges at this location, or more conveniently in the player at the bottom.

Directed and produced by Lo! bassist Adrian Shapiro, the clip was shot in one day in Sydney with a small crew including a member of Oscar winning company Odd Studio who created the disturbing prosthetics. Odd recently won an Oscar for Mad Max Fury Road.

Relays Shapiro commented: "I set myself some rules for the shoot including that I wanted to shoot everything from the back of the car to increase the claustrophobia and be purely focused on the couple. We had minimal camera position changes and I wanted to do as much of the effects work in camera so basically what you're seeing is what we've shot with a bit of tidy up. I also chose to shoot it during the day as I felt that it made the whole reveal even stranger. The song is unrelenting and I liked the juxtaposition of the regular couple driving their car and then seeing their primal transition starting with a kiss and finally merging together by the end of the clip in the same car."
