V to Release Debut Album Pathogenisis Nov. 8; New Video Posted

I’m not entirely sure what’s happening in the new video from minimally-monikered Swedish post-sludgers V, but I do know it’s spectacularly creepy in that special way that only stop-motion animation can truly be. Wallace and Gromit? That shit is terrifying to me. I mean it. Haunts my dreams.

V come into “Souls of the Nearly Departed” and their debut album, Pathogenisis, with no small measure of pedigree between guitarist/vocalist/synthesist Andreas Baier‘s history in Afgrund, Besvärjelsen and Oak, bassist Jonas Kindlund‘s tenure in Besvärjelsen and Daniel Liljekvist‘s former membership in Katatonia — the lineup is rounded out by Jonas Gryth on guitar — but if the opener is anything to go by, their sound is already pretty thoroughly their own. It unfurls viciously across the eight minutes of the clip, which you can see at the bottom of this post, and portends further scathing to come in its atmosphere and shouts, following up on the ambient vibe of V‘s VI EP, which was recorded in 2006 and unreleased until late last year.

Would be interested to know what happened there and why that was sat on for a decade, but either way, the full-length will be out next month on Suicide Records, as the PR wire duly confirms:
