Itself Timeless – 4 Video Release
Our ONE TO WATCH series has returned for this epic video release, and it gives you a taste of the undeniable talent that is strewn all over this underground music scene of ours. It may have went under the radar for some of you music aficionados, but London based sludge and metal merchants Itself Timeless released a three track EP, α back in November 2021, and damn, what a magnificent mass of raw power and technical ferocity it was, and still is! In my defence, The Smashing Skull Sessions was not around at the time, therefore this gem never reached my inbox. However, the guys have just released a new video to go with the second track off the album entitled 4, and once more, Itself Timeless have delivered again, but this time it’s both a visual and a musical tour de force.
Unsettling, sinister, ingenius and inventive are some of the adjectives one could use to describe this audiovisual work of art. Shot by Remains Of Decay and edited by G. Sernicola, everyone involved clearly had a sharp and shrewd panoramic outlook of where they wanted this audio and visual journey to go. Itself Timeless have embraced the balance between sight and sound, fantasy and reality, and this my friends, is the end result. And it is Brilliant! Enjoy.
By the way, those of you who have not yet heard the EP should head to their Bandcamp page and literally freefall headfirst into the visceral and blackened chasm that is α . Three tracks that curdle the blood and drag you down its shadowy and dimly lit pathway, where every emotion and every one of your senses is stripped bare and exposed through a cacophony of deep brooding harmonics.
