San Diego, California-based psychedelic rock group Earthless have filmed a music video for the track ‘Volt Rush’. Directed by skateboard / visual artist BB Bastidas and featuring SoCal skateboarder T-Spliff (a.k.a. Taylor Smith), the clip can be viewed below.
“Stoked to present to you the very first Earthless video, directed by artist BB Bastidas,” said drummer Mario Rubalcaba. “We were stoked to work with BB on this as he knows our background as a band and our close roots with skateboarding. His art is amazing and he also has a keen natural eye for film. Having Taylor Smith, a.k.a. T-Spliff, in it just makes it even sweeter. He is somewhat of a mythical figure of a skater, an amazing talent but chooses to shred at his own discretion. Those who know, know. This was a blast to be a part of and we hope you enjoy this short, high-energy rocker that cruises around our hometown of San Diego, and local club, The Casbah.”
Earthless issued fourth full-length studio album Black Heaven on March 16th, 2018 through Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
The outing was recorded at Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree, California, with Dave Catching handling production.
Black Heaven marks a shift for Earthless, with four of the six tracks featuring vocals whereas earlier albums only occasionally had vocals.
Drummer Mario Rubalcaba commented: “It wasn’t a premeditated thing to do a record with vocals. On the older records, Mike was responsible for a lot of the riffs that would start these jams, but on this one Isaiah (Mitchell) really brought his own pizazz and flavour to it. I’d say that’s one of the major differences on this album: It has more of Isaiah’s input. He took a risk bringing these ideas to us, not knowing if we’d like them. But as with everything we’ve done in the past, it felt very organic and natural.”
