Single is latest from Hushed and Grim
Iconic GRAMMY Award-winning heavy rock band Mastodon has released the cinematic Sixties-inspired music video for their latest single “More Than I Could Chew.” Directed by Zev Deans [St. Vincent, Denzel Curry, Gojira] the clip nods to classic psychedelic horror with its bright color palette and tense take on the story of The Garden of Eden.
In the visual, Lisa Saeboe assumes the role of Eve, while Brenden McGowan inhabits a ghastly Lucifer. As this timeless fable of temptation and lust plays out for nearly seven minutes, the band members perform awash in ruddy colors. Brann Dailor and Troy Sanders lock into an earthquaking call-and-response as thunderous as the track’s sonic ebb and flow. Guitarists Brent Hinds and Bill Kelliher weave a dark yet melodic texture in and around the rhythm to color and complete the expressive track. The clip reaches a harrowing climax in tandem with one last exhale of distortion.
The song is from the group’s most recent album, Hushed & Grim, available now.
This fall, Mastodon will accompany fellow GRAMMY Award-winning rock band Ghost on their North American headline tour. The tour kicks off August 26th in San Diego with stops in Austin, Tampa, Quebec City and others before wrapping with festival appearances at Louder Than Life and Furnace Fest in September.
