Aborym Posts "Dirty" Music Video

Aborym has released a video clip for the title track off new album, "Dirty." The video deals with a "distressing and confusional situation, blurring the borderline between nightmares, memories and drug inducted hallucinations," according to director Alberto Falcone. Check it out below. Alberto Falcone also comments:

"At the first listening of 'Dirty' by Aborym, I got projected in a dark world, where I could see the worst of every human. My aim was to tell a distressing and confusional situation, blurring the borderline between nightmares, memories and drug inducted hallucinations.

"The Pub where the story is set becomes populated by different apathetic idiot savants, each and every of them isolated in their own desperation. The few interactions that exist between them turn tragically. And then there's Luna, who stands still and feels passively all that happens and surrounds her. It was a terrific experience to shoot this video and meet the band members of Aborym, especially because I'm a faithful fan since the release of Kali Yuga Bizzare." More...

The band was founded in 2009 and released a self-titled demo in 2011. However, one day eight tracks were added to the Tungsten Axe songbook and the visions of a full length started to take form.
