A Supernaut Post NSFW Video for “Ice”

The new video from Belgian heavy rock progressives A Supernaut repurposes footage from Alejandro Jodorowsky‘s 1973 festival-of-weirdness The Holy Mountain, and as such, I might recommend not checking it out immediately if you, say, share a cubicle with someone or are otherwise generally employed in a place where there are other people who might walk past and not fully appreciate avant garde filmmaking, let alone the rock-thump-goes-disco pulsations of “Ice,” which is the first tune to be revealed from the Brussels outfit’s impending album, LaMenace, which is due out early in 2017. You never know who’s gonna wind up being a philistine, and I’d hate to have anybody shitcanned for checking out something on this site. Times are tough and we’re a long way — only getting farther — from post-scarcity economies. So just be careful is all I’m saying.

As you make your way through the track and subsequent bio info below, you might notice that A Supernaut — who prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that if you’re smart enough you don’t need more than a single letter to make something your own — ultimately bear little resemblance to the descriptions of their bio. It’s weird enough, especially in this context, but I wouldn’t call “Ice” particularly psychedelic. Nor would I say it sounds like ZZ Top or Grand Funk Railroad. The band underwent an overhaul early last year, becoming a trio for what seems to have been the first time, and to compare “Ice” to a song like “The Fog” (the video for which is on YouTube here), I think you can hear outright the rather significant shift in sound between the two. With the questionable relevance, you might wonder why I bothered including said info at all. Fair enough. It made sense to me in terms of acknowledging how a group’s mission can change in so short a time. You’re certainly entitled to make of it what you will.

Alright, now that we’re all duly buckled in and justified and disclaimered-out, don’t forget that LeMenace will be released in the first part of next year and please enjoy:

A Supernaut, “Ice” official video

ICE, first release from “LAMENACE” A Supernaut upcoming ALBUM (early 2017). A video footage by © Micheline Des Bois (facebook.com/micheline2000). Recorded at the studio americain (Brussels) by Mike Black and A Supernaut / Mixing and Mastering by Remy Lebbos at Rare Sound Studio (Brussels).

Bio:

Reborn in February 15, A Supernaut is a band made up of 3 Brussels bred musicians, that has been brought to the height of notoriety thanks to its heavy presence on the Brussels scene. Skinny gits rather than greedy buggers, eager socks- and-sandals wearers, branding the Atomnium tattooed in place of the heart and sporting crotch high teeny weeny shorts, the spectacle of their Brussels’ psychedelia is definitely worth the trip.

But let’s talk music, and what can one say other than it does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s Rock, it’s soul, it’s Psychedelia and it’s pure love. Some harsh rock wounded by life, psychedelia that tastes like candy apples and love that will make your head swirl faster than a rollercoaster. It’s beautiful, it shakes you up, it reminds you of ZZ Top – only without the beards – or Grand Funk Railroad that’s slightly derailed; in short it’s a kick in the face with a big ol’ cowboy boot.

But above all it’s Brussels, city of their untamed rock ‘n roller hearts, that their transporting music, oozing energy, contradictions, the fusion of what’s good and bad pays a dark and magic homage.

A Supernaut is:
Thomas Venegoni (Bruxelles (BE)) – Guitars, Vocals
Nicolas Dekeuster (Bruxelles (BE)) – Bass, Vocals
Jean-François Hermand (Bruxelles (BE)) – Drums, Vocals
