Dutch death metal institution Bodyfarm have shared a brand new music video for for “Blasting Tyranny”, directed by District 19.
“Blasting Tyranny” is the second video off their upcoming fifth album “Ultimate Abomination” and is set for international release on February 24, 2023 via Edged Circle Productions. Find preorder information HERE.
Lyrically, “Ultimate Abomination” focuses on psychological warfare. “Views from a violent and devastating psychological sight from the dark depths of our minds and human behavior,” expounds founding guitarist Bram Hilhorst. “You can parallel it to ‘wars in the battlefield of life itself.’ The songs are all stories in themselves, but all relate to this subject.” Thus, the title “Ultimate Abomination” is an apt summary of all the lyrics written by de Boer for the album.
Part and parcel with Bodyfarm‘s stellar songwriting across “Ultimate Abomination” is the album’s absolutely crushing production: very “live” and full-blooded, but polished just enough to exude maximum professionalism. Recording-wise, the drums for “Ultimate Abomination” were recorded by J.B. van der Wal at Soundlodge Studios, and the other instruments and vocals by the band at Studio Hilhorst. Mixing and mastering was done by Project Zero studios Belgium.
“We listen to different kinds of music in our genre, and this is also recognizable in the new songs,” Hilhorst continues. “The diversity of tempos and atmosphere is quite big. Old-school death ‘n’ roll to blackened death riffing, it’s all there, and we think the combination of it makes a unique sound.”
