Son of the Morning Post “Left Hand Path” Video

son of the morning

The trick I finally learned to tell my left from my right was that your left hand is the one that makes the ‘L.’ The “Left Hand Path” has been a feature in heavy rock and metal for decades. Lest we forget it was the title of Entombed‘s first record 28 years ago, and of course, blah blah blah Anton LaVey, and the term goes much farther back in relation to black magic and, even deeper, to the breaking of societal taboos in India centuries ago. The Sanskrit word is “vamachara,” which, frankly, I can’t believe a band hasn’t taken for their moniker. That’s here or there, and certainly, Iowan cult rockers Sons of the Morning‘s name is Luciferian enough. Their self-titled debut album is out now on DHU Records, and their new video for the song “Left Hand Path” — the title of which is the reason for the whole non sequitur above; sorry about that — basks in its darkly ethereal visuals and features an assortment of actual left hands. Good to make sure the point gets across.

In the clip we meet Son of the Morning vocalist Lady Helena head on as she leads the way through the track, which is one of eight featured on the full-length that came out earlier this month, and gradually the rest of the four-piece seems to be brought into her purview. Helena‘s work on organ also features heavily on the swinging, classically doomed cut, and guitarist Levi Mendes shows up later to join in on vocals, chapeau and all. It’s a pretty straightforward video, though well designed by Transpiritus, and its atmosphere is both colorful and over-the-top enough to be fun as well as to showcase the cultish leanings of the band. Being catchy never hurts either, and “Left Hand Path,” which was also on the band’s 2017 self-titled three-tracker EP (review here), is most certainly that.

From the pale grey light of America’s Midwest, come Son of the Morning. An occult rock, doom band that interplays the whimsical with the diabolical. The four members of Son of the Morning form the inner-circle of creativity that call upon the forebearers of dark hard rock and heavy metal. However, all is not as it seems as odd-meter and syncopated arrangements dwell within the musical offerings.

To most, the band would be considered new, if it were not for the wealth of experience amongst its members. Combined, the quintet represents decades of musical accomplishment and exploration. The bond was forged in 2016 and most of the year was spent crafting the band’s signature sound. 2017 saw a year of festivals and shows along with the release of a self-titled debut extended play featuring 3 songs. The release was well received by fans and critics alike.
