Los Angeles goth/industrial band The God Bombs release new single "Black and Yellow"
Los Angeles goth/industrial band The God Bombs have unveiled their new single "Black and Yellow."
The song comes with a music video directed by Jason Kaplan, which was unveiled today. Vocalist Justin Symbol said this about the visual, which is available to view below:
"The video explores the horror of corporate America, where talented humans are bled of their creativity and funneled into a meaningless "hive" system of work and drudgery. The concept began with the idea to have disgruntled office workers and an overbearing boss villain who would morph into some kind of bee creature with hives sprouting out of him. I like that it weaves a horror narrative with some elements of humor in the office environment, and of course, the band rocking out in the warehouse! It was helped along by some really great extras, friends of ours who showed up for the shoot in costume! (Humberto Meza, Dave Leon, and more).
Make-up artist, Autumn Lee, created great beehive prosthetics, and an actor friend ended up playing the Boss in an excellent performance. I spent days crafting the custom "beehive" guitar played by Chris Lorraine in the video. Later we added a band performance scene shot in an abandoned warehouse location that Jason found, thus finalizing an incredible video!
As well, a shout out to prop mistress Nichole Carillo who designed my glowing toxic "icicle" shaped microphone! We all hope you enjoy this collaboration as much as we do!"'
The God Bombs are slated to unveil their new studio album GΩDHEAD in the future. "Black and Yellow" is available on digital services right now.
On Friday March 24, The God Bombs will open for Orgy at Whisky A Go-Go. Tickets for that performance are on sale to the general public right now here.
