Concurrently with the moral decay of the ever-growing alien world concept of their upcoming album, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment (out September 5 via Earache Records), Tallah have carved out space for some pure, unapologetic fun with the music video for their new single, “as fate undoes“. The new clip from the Pennsylvania nu-core unit sees them channeling classic monster movies and 1970s television into their most deliberately playful visual treatment yet. Complete with custom puppets and epic monster battles, the new video exhibits the kind of B-movie charm that would make Vincent Price proud. Watch the video HERE and stream the single HERE.
Drawing inspiration from classic creature features and 1970s television shows, the new video transforms Tallah’s alien world concept into something part horror homage, part Saturday morning fever dream. While the band’s previous videos captured their feral live energy and conceptual darkness, “as fate undoes” reveals a different, cosmic horror side of their creative DNA.
Bassist Max Portnoy, who directed the video, shares:
“As fate undoes is heavily inspired by old monster movies and 1970s TV shows like Land Of The Lost. We haven’t done a tongue in cheek, humorous video before, but always joked about it, and decided to send it for this single, since it felt right for this song. After making the video, it was probably the most fun we’ve had at a video shoot. And now we have puppets of ourselves, so that’s cool.”
Speaking about the track itself, Max continues:
“The live strings we recorded for this record are on display prominently with this track. The song was mainly written around this violin melody I wrote one night. Once that idea was cemented, it turned into what I feel is a hit song. It’s got one of the most replayable choruses that makes you want to bounce. It’s fun. It’s dark. It’s very much ‘Tallah’ at our core, all wrapped into 3 minutes.”
