New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Hard rockers Like A
Storm have just released their new music video for their track "Pure Evil". The video was shot south of
Chicago by Vince Lundi at the abandoned Methodist Church of Gary, IN, notorious for being one of the most dangerous cities in America.
Lyrically the song addresses the dark side of religious and political power. Guitarist Matt Brooks states, "The cover ups, scandals and exploitation that pervade the highest levels of church and government are just sickening. "Pure Evil" seemed like the perfect way to sum up this absolute hypocrisy - these people appear so righteous, but at their core they are the worst of the worst."
The track, which blends heavy riffs, double-kick drumming, soaring solos, and an anthemic chorus, is off of the band's album Catacombs released this past spring via Century Media Records/RED MUSIC. Catacombs is available for purchase and on all streaming devices HERE.
