Cosmic Reaper shares a new music video for “Bones” is the latest video/single from North Carolina doom bringers. Now playing at Decibel Magazine, the track comes by way of the band’s Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned full-length, set for release on September 26th via Heavy Psych Sounds Records. The band kicks off their tour tonight, including Raleigh’s eclectic Hopscotch Festival!
Comments vocalist/guitarist Thad Collis of the track, “‘Bones’ is a very personal song for me, but I think its lyrics can resonate with anyone. I’ve always appreciated art that allows people to derive their own meaning from it. That being said, it’s basically about being haunted by the ghosts of your past, especially if you refuse to face them. Musically, I think it showcases some of our best qualities as a band, and as individual songwriters. We like to write catchy riffs and grooves that make people wanna move, and I think we accomplished that with this song. Even if you don’t care what it means, you can headbang to it and it might get stuck in your head – just like those ghosts.”
Adds Decibel, “For a track called ‘Bones,’ the latest video from North Carolina stoner doom outfit COSMIC REAPER is big on fire, but short on actual bones. Plenty of heavy, drop-tuned riffs to go around, though, and the video, of course, features an obligatory cameo from a scythe-wielding reaper. Most of the video features performance footage of the band… with said scythe propped up by the amps as though it were a spare instrument…”…
