1000mods Say Goodbye to Vultures with “Claws” Video
Greek heavy rockers 1000mods have a new video for the track “Claws.” Or, at least for about half of the track. The song comes from their sophomore full-length, Vultures (review here), and the clip is less of a traditional music video than it is a kind of montage of the Chiliomodi outfit’s good times in supporting it. They toured heavily for the album within Greece and across Europe, and footage from the 18 months since Vultures‘ release is compiled together here as the band prepares to say goodbye to the record and, presumably, move forward with whatever they’ll do next.
I don’t know whether that’s a new full-length in the works, an EP, or something else, but either way, a year and a half is certainly a respectable album cycle, so you can’t say they didn’t give Vultures its due. They have three shows this month in Greece to round out 2015, and they’ve teased some news about a “special release,” which could be anything from a new single to an album already in the can, but concrete word of what’s next is still forthcoming. Still, for all of the two minutes it takes to look back on what the last 18 months has brought for the band — fest appearances, tours with The Atomic Bitchwax among others, the album’s release and subsequent acclaim — it’s easily worth the time.
Video is by G.N.P. Productions, and you’ll find it below. Enjoy:
1000mods, “Claws” official video
“Vultures” was released on May 30, 2014. Since then we have played 92 gigs, drove more than 50.000 kms through 22 different countries, met old friends and made a lot of new. We shared the stage with amazing bands and cooperated with some really cool people.
This video contains some of the best moment we had the last two years.
Track: Claws

Now it ‘s time for the “Vultures’ Flight” (!) to end with three gigs in Greek soil.
