Yautja release new music video for ‘The Weight’

YAUTJA have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Weight, is taken from the Nashville-based grindcore/sludge metal trio’s upcoming new album, The Lurch, which is scheduled to be released on Friday. The new music video was directed by Jerry Roe of Nashville duo FRIENDSHIP COMMANDERS.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist/vocalist Shibby Poole says, “a song for those that, while given the opportunity to remain silent, go out of their way to make things harder for others.”

Video director Jerry Roe adds, “YAUTJA have been one of my favorite local heavy bands for a while and they’re a group I consider truly unique and energizing in Nashville, and in heavy music in general. Up to this point I’d only directed videos for my band FRIENDSHIP COMMANDERS and my bandmate’s solo music, so I was really excited when they asked me to make this video. I’ve long been proud to consider them peers in our local music scene here, so I was overjoyed to work on something with them together as members of this loud but small heavy music community here in Tennessee.”

The Lurch is set for release on May 21st via Relapse Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
