Growth release new music video for ‘Cigarette Burns’

GROWTH have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Cigarette Burns, is taken from the Australian metal trio’s upcoming debut album, The Smothering Arms of Mercy, which is scheduled to be released in December this year, via Wild Thing Records.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, Cigarette Burns leave a mark to remember. It’s also a term in cinema for special markers in a roll of film – they let the projectionist know it’s time to change the rolls over, to continue the show. It seems to make sense to reflect on our wounds, so we do it with abandon. We dwell on traumas, invite our ghosts to play out their horrors in front of us in circular fashion, until those circles are spinning so viciously their edges cut us into pieces. It’s no life to live. It’s time to change the film.” 

Speaking about the song’s accompanying music video, frontman Luke Frizon adds, “we’re thrilled to have worked with Adrian Goleby for this clip, he’s got fantastic skills and a great sense of vision. The clip itself features a bunch of our good mates from the very cool band HADAL MAW. One of our members decided to dislocate his knee a few hours into the weekend-long shoot… That member was me. I don’t think much was achieved by this but I stand by my decision.”
