God Mother Sling Frenzied “Spellcraft” On New EP (Video Premiere)
Already known for wreaking chaos on a global scale, Swedish metallic hardcore unit God Mother are returning with their new EP Sinneseld and more of their trademark madness. I originally ran into this band at New York City’s Terminal 5 as part of the original run of Dillinger Escape Plan farewell shows, one that also included a performance of said band’s Irony Is a Dead Scene EP with Mike Patton. Their live performance was enough to make sure I followed them on subsequent releases, including their previous full-length, 2017’s Vilseledd which was featured on Dillinger’s label Party Smasher.
Their new single “Spellcraft" comes accompanied by a wild music video of heroic clips and even a relevant reference to this week’s eclipse. That's in conjunction with some silly green screen effects featuring band members in either precarious or generally odd situations, making this all the more fun.

Vocalist Sebastian Campbell had this to say regarding the video:
'Spellcraft' is my favorite so far of what we’ve done. My love of fantasy roleplaying games really came alive in this song, leaning heavily towards the celebration of fantasy through old films like 'Mio, My Son,' 'Conan,' and 'The Sword and the Sorcerer.' I’ve dungeon mastered a lot, and I loved writing it. Performing this song makes my whole self energized like nothing else.
So, soldier on through a nearly two-minute journey to the heavy and bizarre with this new video and be sure to catch them live opening for Cult Leader this Saturday 4/13 at Hus 7 in Stockholm and peep the new self-released EP on May 10th.
