Hungarian punk rock band The Hellfreaks have filmed a music video for \u2018Rootless Soul Riot\u2019. Directed by P\u00e9ter Moln\u00e1r, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Regarding the song and video, the band stated: \u201c\u2018Rootless Soul Riot\u2019 is the \u2018last and first\u2019 music video to celebrate the release of our new album Pitch Black Sunset<\/em>. This song was the very first video the band recorded for this album, and it\u2019s the final one to be released from the tracklist… for now. Even back in high school, we always felt a deep camaraderie for the misfits, the freaks, and geeks – anyone that was not considered cool. That was our gang. That was our people. We gravitated towards them because these individuals were the ones who stood out, unlike the \u2018cool kids\u2019 who were too afraid to embrace uniqueness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our eyes, the real souls with genuine hearts were the weirdos like us. That\u2019s why our band The Hellfreaks carry the name with purpose and see it as a badge of honour. Hand on heart, we all found solace in the community of metal, punk, or hardcore music because we rejected conformity and committed ourselves to living life on our own terms and being different personally and musically. We may not conform to any societal norms and definitely do not fit into one musical genre, but we have made it a point to be different because this is what we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hellfreaks issued fifth full-length studio album Pitch Black Sunset<\/em> on April 14th, 2023 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince our last album, our world around us has turned much darker than what we ever expected,\u201d The Hellfreaks commented. \u201cCovid, war, inflation. Enough reasons for introspection to find out if there is any light left in us. An excursion between the best and worst parts in us.<\/p>\n

\u201cPitch Black Sunset<\/em> is about how these contraries interfere with each other: the past and the future, peace and chaos, eastern and western, life and death. This album invites you to a car ride straight into the canyon between these opposites. Does it end in a car crash? Sometimes. But we found beauty in it.\u201d<\/p>\n
