Zhora Post Vintage-Style Animated “Riverchrist” Video

zhora
Irish sludgechuggers Zhora — also stylized as zhOra — released their second album, Ethos, Pathos, Logos, late last year, and in addition to its somewhat metaphysically-encompassing title, the Clonmel-based four-piece unleashed with it torrents of progressively pummeling riffs, harsh shouts and purposefully contemplative onslaught. Philosophical exploration through physical or aural punishment? They wouldn’t be the first to tap into flogging for mind expansion by any means, but I guess when something works you roll with it.

The track “Riverchrist” is the second of the total 11 on Ethos, Pathos, Logos, and its new video that you can see below is a deeply creative endeavor involving oldschool-looking animation and a narrative of human sacrifice resulting in a priest or monk of some kind meeting, trapping and — maybe — ultimately joining with his god. It gets kind of murky as these things will, but it’s visually stunning all the same and though in cases like this it’s usually something mined from the public domain or just snagged from a part of a movie or short film or something like that, nope, this one’s all original. Kudos to Goat Planet, which produced the clip.

In addition to the gigs listed below with The Faceless and Conan and MonolordZhora have been confirmed to take part in the inaugural Crypt of the Riff festival (info here) alongside Elder DruidGarganjuaHornets and others. One imagines further appearances are to come throughout 2018 as they continue to support Ethos, Pathos, Logos, but in the meantime, you can check out the “Riverchrist” video here, followed by more info from the PR wire.

Enjoy:

zhOra, “Riverchrist” official video

Irish sludge powerhouse ZHORA have released a new video for their track ‘Riverchrist’, taken from their sophomore album Ethos, Pathos, Logos which was released on 27 October 2017.

‘Riverchrist’ revolves around the fictional character ‘Sin Eater’ and his dominion over vast lands and its people. Written through a first person perspective, his malevolent yet precarious demeanor illustrates the fictional deity and his world of no mercy.
