Melbourne, Australia-based thrash metal band Harlott have filmed a music video for the track ‘Idol Minded’. Directed, shot, and edited by Connor O’Keane of Imperium Pictures, the clip can be viewed below.
Harlott issued fourth full-length studio album Detritus Of The Final Age on November 13th, 2020 through Metal Blade Records.
“For the first time ever, I went into this album with a blank slate,” said vocalist / guitarist Andrew Hudson. “No ideas or requirements, just an empty record ready to be filled with whatever took me. Obviously thrash metal is the wheelhouse of what we do, and it came out pretty thrashy, but it was great to be able to set that aside and explore other avenues.
“Whether its lyrics or riffs or breakdowns, I always make sure that every song has at least one bit that makes you go ‘fuck yeeeeah’. I don’t like the idea of thinking a song or line is ‘good enough’, so I try to make sure the elements of the song are strong enough for them to stand alone outside of the ensemble that they are part of.”
Detritus Of The Final Age marks the first Harlott album to feature new members, Glen Trayhern on drums and Leigh Bartley on guitar. “Both bring their own skills and abilities as well as fresh enthusiasm and ideas,” added Hudson. “Glen is an absolute machine on the kit and lays a rock solid foundation for us to play to, and Leigh is a weapon on the guitar and such a unique lead writer. I couldn’t have had a better ensemble for this release, and the live show is as violent as ever.”
The album was recorded at Legion Studio Productions in Williamstown, Australia with Julian Renzo assisting with the tracking, production and mixing.
Cephalic Carnage guitarist Brian Hopp contributes solos on the track ‘Prime Evil’.
