KRIS BARRAS BAND have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Savages, is taken from the hard rock band’s upcoming new album, Halo Effect (the follow-up to 2022’s Death Valley Paradise), which is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Earache Records.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, frontman Kris Barras elaborates, “Savages is definitely one of the more ‘out-there’ tracks on the album for us. We wanted to push the boundaries of what we have done previously, particularly production-wise and this track is a perfect example of that. Blending more electronic elements in with the usual KRIS BARRAS BAND big riffs and sing along chorus, this track has become one of my favourites from the new album.

It’s a song for the everyman about being looked down upon by a higher power, whether it be political, societal, or commercial. It is about taking that disdain, uniting against it and wearing it as a badge of honour. I directed and edited the video myself, with my good friend and long-time collaborator Tommy Rowe on camera duties. After releasing a couple of solid performance-based videos, we really wanted to mix it up on this one by doing something more cinematic and with a narrative throughout. We were going for a ‘Stranger Things meets Quentin Tarantino‘ vibe with the look and storyline… the alternate realm takes influence from the Upside Down in Stranger Things. Actress Kiara Leigh absolutely nailed the role. It was an intense few days getting this one done, battling against lots of issues including a blown generator and severe weather conditions!”
