Mastiff release new music video for ‘Midnight Creeper’

MASTIFF have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Midnight Creeper, is taken from the Hull-based blackened sludge metal band’s upcoming new album, Leave Me The Ashes Of The Earth, which is scheduled to be released on Friday. The new music video was first premiered via Brooklyn Vegan.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band says, “our mindset when writing Midnight Creeper was along the lines of, ‘what if WILL HAVEN was a grindcore band?.’ The song originally had a whole extra part at the end, but after months of sitting on the song during the first lockdown in 2020, we revisited it and realised it was totally not needed, and that the grind part that ends the song now was a far more fitting way to disorient and bamboozle people.

Lyrically, Midnight Creeper is one of the more personal and angry tracks on Leave Me The Ashes Of The Earth and deals pretty directly with a person who was very close to the band and that we all considered a friend, who was unceremoniously outed as a predator and a liar. The feeling of disgust and betrayal within our musical community hung over us for a long time and we wanted to make a clear statement that we stand behind victims, we abhor abusers, and that consent is everything. That we picked one of our most brutal songs to convey that message seemed fitting, really.”
