Featuring plenty of fluids; vomit, blood, and pus. With a little bit of piss and some scat, they'd have the whole package.

Creating a blistering, viscous callback to past songs like 'Affliction Prescription' and 'Forseeing The Cloud And Not The Rain', Statues latest tune shows the Perth band at the very top of their crazed heavy musical game; a quality I hope will also be widely indicative of their forthcoming LP, 'No Grave, No Burial'.

The most recent track to be culled from this upcoming record is 'Unrest', a sharp and jagged piece of mathy hardcore (shut up, it's a term that I'm now sticking with). However, the music video for this scathing track is a gruesome mixture of bodily fluids, subtle body horror, and psychological torture. The band recently explains the thought process behind the metaphorical yet oh so liquidy visuals, stating that:

"Unrest takes place in the mind of the main character. After a series of events that left him heart broken and shaken, he now struggles with the process of continuing his journey alone. With the agonising guilt of feeling responsible for leaving loved ones behind and the graphic imagery of war, there is inner turmoil of panic and anger to conquer before moving forward to find safety from the conflict."

Be sure to watch the messy clip below. 'No Grave, No Burial' will independently drop on November 10th and you can check out the album's imposing title track right here.
