Nearly a year ago we premiered Grizzlor’s then new single, “Warp Speed,” one of four crushing songs from their latest EP, Coolness Factor 6. released last June via Learning Curve Records (New Primals, Bummer, Child Bite) and Hermit Cave Records. When we last shared the single, we said, “the Connecticut trio rip and shred with a sneering sense of humor and spaced out resolve, but their songs are primal brutality, steamrolling over everything in their path.” They proved their formula to be in fine form throughout Coolness Factor 6, just under nine minutes of mutant noise rock and elastic punk leaning sludge.
The band breathe new life into their single once again with a new music video directed by John Mohr. The intensity of the song is captured in a live performance video, caught in a claustrophobic garage like practice space. The walls aren’t exactly closing in on the band, but the strobe effect and multi-colored lighting certainly make it feel like something alien is occurring. It’s a simple video, but effective, showing the energy within the song is character enough.
