Foscor - I Torn
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EHe8xROSzk]
Catalan black metallers Foscor have released a video for “I Tornà de les Cendres”, from their album The Smile of the Sad Ones, which I wrote about here. The video takes place in a spa in Catalonia called the Balneari de la Puda (built in 1870, abandoned in 1958). Its atmosphere is thick like caked blood. A girl wanders the halls of the decaying complex, encountering shadowy figures – or is it all in her head? The prostrate poses and old world vibe recall Morbid Angel’s video for “God of Emptiness”. The colors match the music: gritty, duskily beautiful. It’s refreshing to see black metal sans panda paint. I’m a big fan of Foscor, and wonder why they aren’t huge.
