Remember The Darkness and their megahit “I Believe In A Thing Called Love”? Well, those high pitched British rockers are back with Last Of Our Kind, a new album that comes out June 1st via Kobalt Label Services. And to hype up this new album, the band has released a music video for their track “Barbarian”, which is as ridiculous yet awesome as you’d expect.
The video plays out like pages from a comic book and tells the tale of viking battles, pillaged villages, and shows more than a few severed limbs.
Frontman Justin Hawkins describes the song as having:
…not one but two dramatic monologues, a guitar solo that has been declared ‘irresponsible,’ a riff that weakens lady-knees and a chorus that makes grown men shit directly into their pants. The lyrics describe the Viking invasion of East Anglia which culminated in the decapitation of Edmund the Martyr. So yeah, classic Darkness.
You can watch the insanity below.
