New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Switzerland jazz grindcore band Convulsif premiere a new song and music video "The Axe Will Break". The track is taken from their impending new album "Extinct", which will arrive October 23rd on Hummus Records.
When pressed for a bit of context about the video, this is what they hit us back with:
"The video for ‘The Axe Will Break’ comes from the recording of a concert at L’Amalgam. Before, we locked ourselves up for several days to prepare [for] the concerts in this place. Together, we captured all the resonances that surrounded us to transcribe them into sound. The development of this piece is meant to be soothing and bewitching at the beginning to end, after 13 minutes in the abyss of the most virulent noise. We take you by the hand to make you better appreciate the torments of the final storm. This piece is ritual: an enveloping and inexorable heaviness that keeps your soul in torpor. This extreme torrent of sonorous lava intoxicates you and transports you to a parallel world of nothingness. The video is a live recording of a concert that captures the innate energy of the song, which starts out as a smooth, warm trip, slowly unfolding into a torrent of noise. A track like a ritual: all-embracing and inexorable heaviness that keeps the feathery souls where they belong."
