OSEES‘ new album Abomination Revealed at Last is out next week (8/8), and the band have shared its almost title track as one last angry, ripping appetizer before unleashing the whole thing. They’ve also made a very cool video for “Abomination,” which was directed by John Valle in high-contrast, lo-fi black and white. John Dwyer calls it “a love letter to Dr. Strangelove” and “a big fuck you to war mongers everywhere.”
The “Abomination” video is also a tribute to cult schlock horror studio Troma Entertainment and they even got its legendary founder, Lloyd Kaufman, to star in it. “We are blessed with the man’s continued virility and sense of humor,” Dwyer says of Kaufman.
“The song speaks for itself, I think,” Dwyer adds. “War for resources, war for religion, war based in fear, war based in greed. There is no righteous war. There is only war. It’s a story as old as time, or at least as old as human weakness.”
Watch the video below.
OSEES are on tour this year and will play Brooklyn’s Warsaw on October 25 & 26 with DMBQ.
