Kansas City-based deathcore group The Browning have filmed a music video for the track ‘Optophobia’, which can be viewed below.
The Browning issued fourth full-length studio album Geist on October 26th, 2018 through Spinefarm Records.
Vocalist Jonny McBee commented: “My end goal for The Browning is to be industrial-electronic-rock-metal. For this new album, I knew there needed to be a massive change not just musically for listeners, but for myself. That change had to come from the vocals. I’ve been working on finding the right voice for three years that’s powerful and melodic, but still extremely heavy and emotional. It was a long process, and I documented most of it live on my Twitch channel.”
As McBee faced myriad personal trials and tribulations throughout 2017, he simultaneously wrote countless songs and livestreamed the creative process on Twitch. Upwards of 100 users might tune in daily to witness his catharsis in real-time. Six of these tracks surfaced on Geist.
However, he quit streaming in order to get really personal. “Structurally, the base of half the album was written on stream,” he says. “Since I was writing in front of a live audience, I was giving them what I thought The Browning fans would want to hear – breakdowns, fast synths, and techno. However, I wanted to incorporate different elements. I wrote the rest in private, so I could really focus.”
