Meek is Murder and Tiger Flowers Make Metal’s First Split Video

While split 7″s and EPs are nothing new in metal, I honestly cannot remember ever having seen a split music video before. So Meek is Murder and Tiger Flowers may have just made history with the below clip, which is for both MiM’s “Algorithms” and TF’s “The Weight.” Given that both bands tend it keep it short n’ sweet in the length-of-songs department, the entire video is still only four minutes long… and while it’s “just” a performance clip, it’s a really cool performance clip, and I encourage you to check it out:

Tiger Flowers’ “The Weight” appears on their self-titled EP, which is out now. “Algorithms” is the title track of Meek is Murder’s release of the same name, which some stupid website released two years ago. To commemorate the occasion, the vinyl is on sale for just six bucks for a limited time; go here to order.

And while we’re on the topic, the two bands recently collaborated on a cover of Botch’s “Japam” for the All About Friends Forever: Volume Three compilation EP. You can stream that awesome shit here.

And also while we’re on the topic — here are upcoming tour dates for both bands. They each rock incredibly hard live, so make sure you don’t miss ’em!!!
