German doom metal group Confusion Master have released a music video for the track \u2018In The Shadow Of The Bong\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Frontman Stephan Kurth commented: \u201c\u2018In The Shadow Of The Bong\u2019 draws inspiration from the three antidotes to the absurdity of life according to Albert Camus. Conditions must be fulfilled to be translated in consequences such as revolt, freedom and passion. Camus\u2019 call to a greater degree of understanding among people and greater sincerity building on mankind becoming ultimately frank and free to allow communication inspired this song. This all we wrapped up in a Cavity-\/Iron Monkey-inspired riffage. Enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Confusion Master issued debut full-length studio album Awaken<\/em> on April 27th, 2018 in CD, LP and digital formats through Exile On Mainstream. Bonten Records have scheduled a CD-only Japanese release for the 27th.<\/p>\n

The outing has been made available for streaming in its entirety through SoundCloud and can be accessed below.<\/p>\n
