ABNORMALITY Release Music Video For \u2018Cymatic Hallucinations\u2019 Track<\/strong><\/span>
\nNovember 2nd, 2016<\/strong><\/span>
\n
\nMarlborough, Massachusetts-based death metal group Abnormality have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Cymatic Hallucinations\u2019. Directed by Jim Foster for Red13Media Inc., the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Drummer Jay Blaisdell commented: \u201cOverall, the song is about applying the concept of cymatics (the effects of sound and vibrational frequency on matter), to tripping hard on shrooms. Basically it\u2019s describing the trip of all trips. A hallucinogenic experience so intense that the auditory hallucinations experienced actually cause a cymatic alteration to the persons physical reality and existence, or even everyones physical reality and existence. It\u2019s a pretty fucked up scenario. I personally have had really intense trips with both visual and auditory hallucinations. The sounds hallucinated are always indistinguishable from the real vibrational sounds. The whole concept has always intrigued me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Director Jim Foster added: \u201cAs we embarked on our second video together my goal was to portray Abnormality\u2019s intense energy on a large scale while bringing their concept of a \u2018trip\u2019 into the darkness of the mind into a reality. And as always, Metal Blade is incredibly supportive in letting bands and directors see their visions through.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abnormality issued second full-length studio album Mechanisms Of Omniscience<\/em> on April 29th, 2016 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

Production was handled by Peter Rutcho, once again. Cover artwork duties fell to vocalist Mallika Sundaramurthy.<\/p>\n
