Wiegedood release new music video for ‘FN SCAR 16’

WIEGEDOOD have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track FN SCAR 16, is taken from the Belgian black metal band’s upcoming new album, There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road, which is scheduled to be released in January next year. The new music video was created by Jaak De Digitale.

Speaking about the meaning behind the new song, the band says, “the SCAR (Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle) is a family of gas-operated (short-stroke gas piston) automatic rifles developed by Belgian manufacturer FN Herstal (FN) in 2004. This family of rifles consist of two main types. The SCAR-L, for “light”, is chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge and the SCAR-H, for “heavy”, is chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. Both are available in Close Quarters Combat (CQC), Standard (STD), and Long Barrel (LB) variants.”

Continuing to talk about the upcoming album, the band adds, There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road focuses on the filthiest and most disgusting parts of human nature and society. It steers clear from the typical black metal themes and concepts, instead zoning in on the struggle we lead within, trying to overcome the fact we are all made from that same filth. Exploring places the previous trilogy didn’t even scratch the surface of, both lyrically and musically. A first-hand look into pure disgust, a psychotic ride with synths, tape-recorders, hot club jazz and distressing samples. A definite switch from our previous work, a dark turn into something unexpected and unwelcome.”

There’s Always Blood At The End Of The Road is set for release on January 14th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here. The band will be touring mainland Europe and the UK in early 2022, check out the tour dates here!
