Australian drone metal duo Divide and Dissolve have released their new single “Denial.”

The track, which was released yesterday, comes with an accompanying music video directed by Amber Beaton. The director had this to say about working on the powerful video:

“I’m a huge fan of D/D and so happy to have made this video for them. I understand and appreciate the message behind the music and I wanted to make sure the video held the same intentions no matter how subtle. For instance, we start off with a shot of a Kōwhai tree. Native to Aotearoa, Kōwhai in bloom signifies to Māori that some seafood is ready for harvest, the roots can be used to make fishing hooks, the sap on the sunny side of the tree can be used to heal wounds... but the vibrancy of the yellow flower was also the first thing Captain Cook saw when he arrived on the shores of Aotearoa signalling the start of colonial violence on this whenua/land. The changing colours of its flower in the video represents our change as a country and as people since that fateful arrival.”

“Denial” comes from Divide and Dissolve’s forthcoming studio album Gas Lit, which will be released on January 29 via Invada Records. The album also features the previously released single (and album closer) “We Are Really Worried About You.”
