In probably the most literal definition of the phrase, autofagia means “self-eating” or “self-devourment.” So it’s with some trepidation we reveal this new video, “Autofagia,” by Danish post-metal noise lords Kollapse. Truly, it seems that this can be a completely protected for work efficiency video of the trio doing nothing greater than bashing the hell out of their devices and neither consuming themselves nor others. The depth of the observe—a crushing, lurching behemoth that invokes late ’80s NYC scum/noise rock, a la Unsane and Helmet—actually matches the ugly lyrical subject material, although. The easy, however efficient video was directed, edited and shot by Peter Drastrup.

This was the primary tune we truly completed for this album. It set the tone, in some senses, for the album, by being extra aggressive than a few of our earlier work. It additionally options our first ‘actual’ breakdown. The primary riff is solely constructed round a single dissonant chord, the place solely the rhythm round it, and the aggressiveness with which it’s performed, adjustments; the drums, as they typically do, management this tune. This creates a sure insistence within the tune—it simply retains hitting you with this disgusting chord. We additionally actually began working with double vocals on this observe, with consistently shifting vocals and components the place we’re working in accordance with one another. This tune got here collectively so quick, and we knew we have been lastly, after having written and discarded a ton of fabric, heading within the path we wished.”
