As the rays of light at the end of the dark tunnel that has been the past 16 months of isolation and generally being shit upon from great heights grow brighter by the day, and life starts to return to some sense of nomality, a healthy slew of new music, perhaps more than at any other time in ÜR’s history, continues to ping itself our way, and especially in the continuing tsunami of submissions we receive for our coveted ‘Video Of The Week’ award… Yes, as we’ve said on multiple occasions, one constant throughout the vagaries of inconsistent and often hard to stomach lockdowns is the amazing level of adaptive creativity that bands and video directors the length and breadth of the Überverse have continued to show, often in the most adverse of circumstances.
After viewing all of the entries – and, yes, we did watch each and every one of the 100-plus submissions we received this past week alone – at the end of the day (or night, depending on where you are in the Überverse), there could be only one winner… And this week it brings us a early flavour of our favourite time of the year, as gothic/horror punk ‘n’ rollers Lesbian Bed Death have invited a few ‘Vampires’ to an early Halloween party – but, hey, we’re not complaining because, if it was up to us, we’d celebrate Halloween every feckin’ day of the year…
The fourth single to be lifted from the Midlands band’s forthcoming seventh album, ‘The Witching Hour’, which is being released via their own Psychophonic Records, this release comes at the end of a pretty traumatic time for the band, as they have not only changed singers, with Zoey Phoenix coming in to replace Luci4, who sang on their last two albums, ‘Evil Never Dies’ and ‘Born To Die On VHS’, but are also about to unveil a new guitarist and bassist to boot.
As we await further revelations, meanwhile it is time to invite the bloodsuckers in and book the cleaning crew to clear up the ensuing mess…
