Every time someone says to me the word “underrated”, Mutilation Rites comes to mind immediately. The Brooklyn-based band decided to do something about that and get to the masses like a plague with their newest video “Contaminate” from their latest record Harbinger. Guitarist Michael Dimmitt comments about  the video:

Coming up with the concept for the music video for ‘Contaminate’ was quite simple. The subject matter of the song deals with impending doom of the apocalypse, radiation sickness, and the suffering that war brings about in general. We combined disturbing archival footage from atrocities committed in the last century with a live show we played at Saint Vitus, in Brooklyn, to create a visual aesthetic to match the bleak subject matter and overall feeling of despair that we attempted to create when we wrote this song.

The band will perform at the Stardust V Festival this weekend, which previously boasted Taake as one of the headliners before postponing their North American tour earlier this month.

Black Metal enthusiast from Los Angeles who thought was a good idea to grab a camera and shoot underground shows for the hell of it. Pseudo-writer with little to no expectations of ever winning a Pulitzer but totally down to write about your unknown band if it's good to my ears. I enjoy long walks on the beach, deep conversation, holding hands and attending Satanic music shows every now and then.
