Music video for 'The steeple is fallin'. Somethin' is callin'. The world's on the slide again straight down'. Capturing the despair of that sentiment, sonically and visually. Thank you for watching.
/// I am supremely happy to be releasing 'Eater Of Self' by Squelch Chamber via Owlripper Recordings on July 12th. The album is everything I hoped for and more when I approached Squelch Chamber to make something for Owlripper, and I was swiftly inspired to also create a visual for this monster track....... and a massive thank you to No Clean Singing for premiering the video! Hello to anyone coming in from there... nocleansinging.com/2023/06/30/an-ncs-video-premiere-squelch-chamber-the-steeple-is-falling
For the forthcoming album, mangle together in a blender reminiscences of the untamed ferocity of Primitive Man, The Body, Ken Mode, Therapy? on their first 2 EPs, Abandon (Sweden), Skinny Puppy, then add dashes of Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Full Of Hell and Fear Of God all on 16rpm, but with added liquids, doom and noise. That's the Squelch Chamber cocktail as I hear it, so I hope this gets you suitably intrigued for the monolithic album that is to follow...
I was hooked the moment I saw the band name, but then hearing their debut 'Down So Low' in Summer 2020 absolutely sealed the fandom. Get to know what the band have done already:

LYRICS:
The steeple is fallin'
Somethin' is callin'
The world's on the slide again straight down
Isolated, so much hatred
We can no longer ask our brothers and sisters for help
The wires and the spires have come unglued in this miserable world
Somethin' is broken
Nobody jokin'
Smiles are strangled anymore
I file all these predetermined documentations
Who the hell is makin' all these violent accusations?
Now there's a million people tryin' and cryin' for help
Criminal ways born from debt and decay on the shelf
I don't even really know what you're tryin' to do
I just chalk it up to years of misspent youth
Putrid decayin' world...putrid decayin' world...
It's gone...it's gone...the planet that we knew is gone
Gone...gone...the planet that we knew is gone.

My notes:
Visually I wanted to focus in on the damage that humans have done, are doing, the fighting, the lack of respect for the planet and nature, and that humans have so much potential, and they show it in some brilliant things, but that nature will win out in the end if the general masses continue to be oblivious to their actions. That was my interpretation of where the lyrics pointed, and the mood of the song fit this kind of overwhelming theme, so I piled on a few layers and made it noisy, apocalyptic and psychedelic looking to follow the aural attack.
