Since releasing their great new album Derramar | Querer | Borrar at the tail-end of 2022, NJ screamo band Massa Nera have put out a handful of music videos from the record, and we’re now premiering another, for “A Faint Goodbye.” The song is one of the album’s more post-rocky tracks, and the video is a collage of grainy footage. The band says, “‘A Faint Goodbye’ is about the urge to give up. With the video, we tried our best to capture the mnemonic impairments that accompany depression. Hopefully, we succeeded despite having a budget of $0.” Check it out below.
Massa Nera are also staying very busy on the road, and they’ve got tons of shows coming up, including multiple gigs in and around NYC. All dates are listed below.
Massa Nera also have a song on Touché Amoré vocalist Jeremy Bolm’s label Secret Voice’s upcoming screamo comp Balladeers, Redefined.
