AN NCS VIDEO PREMIERE: UNDEAD — “FEAST FOR THE WORMS”

If you’re a slobbering fan of supernatural chainsawing death metal you’re about to have more fun than most things you can do with your clothes on. Ghouls are also invited to participate, with or without clothing.

The source of the fun to come is our premiere of a video for “Feast for the Worms“, a virally infectious, massively mauling, and magnificently eerie song off the latest album by the unholy Spanish death metal band UNDEAD. It was filmed in a very special graveyard, where the dead must have been stirred to ghastly new life as they witnessed the event from below.

We begin our introduction of this audio-visual spectacle with words from the band:

Fool or brilliant, beast or saint, rich or poor, the end is the same for all. All the money, surgical enhancements in the body, and materialistic gains in the world, won’t change the unavoidable fact of your physical end. The billionaire CEO of the biggest company or the most beautiful and sculptured body, they all will rot and decay and end up being eaten by the worms. So, someday, nothing in this world will matter, and isn’t that wonderful?

The Feast for the Worms video was shot in Sad Hill Cemetery (Burgos, Spain), the iconic set of the legendary Sergio Leone film “The good, the bad and the ugly”. As the classic movie freaks we are, we’re so grateful we had the opportunity to use such a famous location.

And now for our own introduction….

As the band’s label accurate portrays, “This godless 4-piece splatters horror-tinged flare all over their music”. That’s proven in spades by this song, and all four of its main ingredients contribute to its impact.

First, the earth-moving, bone-mangling power of HM-2 thrives in the riffs, which frantically undulate and writhe like a massive worm, pulsate like something greedily feeding, and groan in agony.

Second, the drumming hammers like fully-fueled pistons in different gears and the bass humongously throbs, and they’re a big factor in why the song is so compulsive in its triggering of listener muscle reflexes.

Third, the raging vocals spray acid and blood with furious intensity.

And fourth, but not least, the eerily reverberating lead guitar sweeps way up high, like the racing clouds at the outset of the video, both brilliant and strange, and at one point that segues into a delirious but also eerie guitar solo.

The video was produced by UNDEAD, and it was shot and edited by Promio Films.

“Feast for the Worms” is one of ten songs on Undead‘s sophomore album Putrefactio (meaning “Rotten”), which was released last May by Redefining Darkness Records. The album was mixed and mastered by the legendary Dan Swanö at Unisound, and it features cover art by Misanthropic Art.
