Currently among what seems to be the band's busiest year since their inception, Thou have unveiled a new video off their highly anticipated upcoming album, Magus, due out on Sacred Bones Records on August 31st, 2018. Magus is only one of the many releases Thou have planned, but possibly the most substantial of them all.
The Changeling Prince is drenched in Louisiana sludge rocking heaviness, dark weight at its finest; a lengthy, sluggish piece that exceeds all expectations.
The wonderful accompanying video is co-directed by the band's own, Bryan Funck and Mitch Wells. "We shot this video on the hottest day of summer in a small room in New Orleans with one barely working AC unit," the band comment. "We want to thank all the punks, hunks, and freaks who came out to help us get this done. Every person in the crowd was important, and we more than appreciate them putting up with the heat, our lack of competence, and listening to the same song all day long."
Look out for cameos from special guests, such as The Body and Lingua Ignota.
