Gorgatron Share Song and Video for “Blatant De-Evolution”

Gorgatron have shared the single and video for “Blatant De-Evolution” ahead of their forthcoming album, Sentience Revoked, out June 21 via Redefining Darkness. The video is a gnarly gross-out, so be forewarned before you watch. It’s worth it if you can stomach it, though, because this song is a heavy hitter.

“I don’t know much about science, but I believe humans have started to move backwards as a species” says Gorgatron vocalist Karl Schmidt. “I truly believe that humanity is doomed if people collectively continue to neglect positive introspection. The music written for this tune is so undeniably crushing that I had to write lyrics that were equally demoralizing and depressing.”

“Embracing our DIY video ethos, we teamed up with our close friends at Brutal Films LLC, with whom we’ve collaborated on numerous video projects,” explains Gorgatron bassist and vocalist Cameron Dewald. “With their help, we interpreted my vision of a mini-horror movie. Our aim was to subvert common horror tropes, a treat for any horror aficionado.

“Welcoming friends from across the Midwest to join the cast, we delved into a three-day shoot at a mold-ridden abandoned schoolhouse. With 10 gallons of fake blood, 30 pounds of gore, a few live rounds of buckshot and the demise of a chainsaw, we brought this twisted vision to life. Heartfelt thanks to Ari, Shaun, Charley, Tony, Kyle, Elizabeth, Eric, and Chris for their invaluable contributions in bringing this unconventional concept to fruition.”

Preorder the album here. We’re personally stoked for this one to come out, as this brutal video promises it will be heavy as hell. Stay tuned for more announcements from the band soon.
