black midi bring us a suitably strange and fantastic video to accompany the first single from album ‘Hellfire’ released on the 15th July.
Written in isolation in London, Hellfire builds on the melodic and harmonic elements of its predecessor, Cavalclade, while expanding the brutality and intensity of their debut, Schlagenheim. As Greep describes it: “If Cavalcade was a drama, ‘Hellfire’ is like an epic action film” that delves into overlapping themes of pain, loss and anguish.

There are direct dramatic monologues, flamboyantly appealing to our degraded sense of right and wrong. You’re never quite sure whether to laugh at or be horrified. It is their most thematically cohesive and intentional album yet.
