The South Carolina grindcore outfit have joined their songs &#8220;Black Flags Toward Sodom (Me Ne Frego)&#8221; and &#8220;Tank Reaper&#8221; into a double feature of sorts. The clip can be viewed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Vocalist Ian Nix comments: &#8220;Black Flags&#8230; and Tank Reaper are two of our more explosive and unique tracks that we really wanted to expand on artistically. The video was directed and produced by Brittany Brock, an up and coming local film maker. We wanted the imagery and the story to be close to home. The video is based on a local girl who believed she was told by god in order to keep the world from ending she had to rip out her own eyes. She succeeded at this task.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postandcourier.com\/free-times\/music\/greenville-grindcore-band-wvrm-s-love-hate-relationship-with-south-carolina-powers-new-lp\/article_fa4a3b58-5d88-11ea-b8a5-1b2bd4cf8225.html\">Post and Courier<\/a> adds: &#8220;<em>Colony Collapse<\/em> stands as a thrilling testament to what operating in the Upstate has brought to WVRM\u2019s music. Recorded locally at Anderson\u2019s DSC Recordings and engineered by guitarist Derick Caperton, it finds the group using expanded resources to take its veering and violent DIY approach to a new zenith. The opening \u201cWalled Slum City\u201d establishes a scintillating base line for the sound, marrying Pig Destroyer\u2019s eviscerating precision to the sleek but burly heft of punk-informed sludge bands like Black Tusk.\u00a0But WVRM is far too restless to stay in one mode. \u201cThorn Palace\u201d punctures bouts of straight-head, head-banging riffs with sharp pangs of feedback, throwing the listener off balance just when they feel stable. On \u201cMy F#!king Dixie (The New South),\u201d extended riffs that lean toward doom metal get sucked into the rhythm section\u2019s viciously churning maelstrom. And the title track, one of two three-minute epics that close the album, is a nihilistic tone poem built from Ian Nix\u2019s brutal barks, Brett Terrapin\u2019s free-jazz-ish drumming and layers of caustic but hypnotic feedback.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WVRM have premiered a new music video featuring two tracks from their recent album, Colony&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81027"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81027\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81029,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81027\/revisions\/81029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
