A few months ago, I introduced you all to Minnesota band Thee Massacre, who take the theatricality of horror and mix it with the heaviness of metal to create something very cinematic, aggressive, and fun. I stated that they would be a “slasher film” if comparing to subgenres.
Now, I’m pretty thrilled to bring you the exclusive music video premiere of “Drenched In Blood And Sweat”, which comes from their EP Horror (out now via Bandcamp).
The video, directed by Elijah Woodcock of Pandemic Pictures, is the tale of a sock puppet who is pushed over the edge and goes on a murderous rampage. It’s bloody, it’s gory, and it’s absolutely ridiculous. Honestly, it reminds me of Meet The Feebles, so if you’re a fan of that movie you definitely need to check out this clip!
The band states:
Thee Massacre would like to thank everyone that participated in the project. It’s been a really fun process. Travis and Jordan our main stars deserve a lot of credit for the effort and performances they put forth. They really made this better than we hoped it could be.
Elijah and Anthony did a great job bringing this goofy idea we had to life. We are more than happy with how everything turned out and are extremely excited to present it to everyone.
We didn’t want to do your conventional metal band video where it’s just intercut shots of each band member. We really wanted to make a story that suits our personalities and makes the audience not only feel the horror movie vibe we try to capture with our music, but to make them laugh as well.
Thee Massacre will be playing a show March 7th at The Triple Rock in Minneapolis MN alongside By The Thousands, Reaping Asmodeia, and From Concept to Chronicles.
Director Woodcock states:
This is by far the most bizarre project I’ve ever been apart of. When the band pitched the idea of a homicidal sock puppet going nuts I didn’t really get it, but my business partner Anthony Cousins was like, “Please lets do this!” As I talked to the band more and they told me they wanted an grind house horror vibe thats when I Jumped in with both feet. I grew up watching I Spit On Your Grave, Pieces, Sleepaway Camp, etc etc. Horror is my genre. My only hope is it is as fun to watch as it was to create.
