Directed by Augie Arredondo and with art direction from Marilia Maschion, a music video was filmed for the track ‘Nihil Strength’. The clip can be viewed below.
Tristan Shone commented: “I built new machines for this album to make more aggressive and dynamic music. These devices are compact and powerful, made from robotic components, intended for high-energy repetition.
“I, as do many others, feel rage against the Beasts of our era: those who horde, who poison, or who discriminate. We need aggressive music to make an aggressive statement. Beastland is an introspection of who we are as a human race.
“At a time when we have the tools, the intellect, and the history to remind us how to treat each other and the earth, we go far out of our way to feast on the less fortunate and vulnerable, disregarding the atrocities and lessons of the past.”
Fifth studio record Melk En Honing was released in June 2015 via Housecore Records.
