Nibiru. A planet that enters our solar system every 3,000 years according to Sumerian texts? A supposed doomsday theory that's yet to take place? Or the newest single from Jack The Stripper?

There are no awards for guessing which one I am talking about here, folks. But yes, Jack The Stripper's latest single and video is for their hectic and heavy number, 'Nibiru'. The track is taken from the group's 2013 record, 'Raw Nerve', which will soon be followed up by a brand new album.

Get. Keen.

In a recent press release, vocalist Luke Frizon said this about the song's meaning and what it represents:

“With so many different platforms shared by media and your peers telling you how to feel, how to think, how to view yourself every day - it's a given that disillusionment and dissociation will strike a lot of people, and cause suffering. Nibiru is for those people and seeks to illustrate the sense of loss, separation, and worthlessness that they feel."

The music video - which originally premiered through Metal Hammer - was directed by Adrian Goleby, co-directed by Julian Renzo, and was filmed over at Complex Studios in Melbourne, which is owned by Roman Koester (The Red Shore/Boris The Blade/Thy Art Is Murder/Our Great War).

The imagery of the film clip is pretty freaky and is really attention-grabbing, but I'd say that it goes rather well accompanying the extreme nature of the track itself.

But seriously, nightmares for fucking days.
