Australian metallic hardcore band Nicolas Cage Fighter unveiled their new single “The Executioner” yesterday.
The song arrives with a music video co-directed by Karl Steller and Abbey Bamford, which can be seen here. Guitarist Justin Ellis said this about the single and music video:
“‘The Executioner’ is our hardest hitting and most pit inducing song yet from the upcoming album. It has massive grooves, throwdowns and blasts of mayhem; a song that just brings together everything that inspires and identifies NICOLAS CAGE FIGHTER. The video captures the violent unravelling of the conceptual character behind I Watched You Burn and picks up from where the end of the last music video [for the album’s title track] left off; it’s confronting and the most intense music video we have done to date. When we filmed the clip, we had actually just finished a national tour the night before, so we look as unhinged as the video itself."
“The Executioner” stems from Nicolas Cage Fighter’s forthcoming studio album I Watched You Burn, which will arrive on September 12th via Bleeding Art Collective and Blood Blast Distribution (Nuclear Blast Records/Believe).
