Aussie alternative rockers HELLIONS have released a new video for their track ‘Thresher’. The song is already available in their new album ‘Opera Oblivia’, released during the last year by UNFD. Watch the video here.
Guitarist Matthew Gravolin comments on the video:
“Thresher is about existential disillusionment and the need for constant escape, stuck in the incendiary mode of thought in between ‘Help me’ and ‘Fuck you, only I can help me. The video shows us in the midst of our collective escape. Exorcism and ecstasy, on and off the stage”.
… and further explains more about the track itself:
“About Existential disillusionment – the need for constant escape. I had a particularly bad day and opened the floodgates on this one. We were stuck on this track for a while during the writing process, musically it sounded quite sweet so originally I had wanted it to be a love song, but it ended up sounding too sweet and was incongruous with the other songs. After months of being stuck with this lyrically we decided to go in the complete opposite direction and make it as dark as we could lyrically. The contrast between the sentimentality of the music and the rawness of the lyrics made for a much more unique song.“
