Wounded Touch have premiered a new video for their song “A Weapon In God’s Country.” The track, which features Jack Murray (156/Silence), appears on the band’s latest EP “They Promised Eden, Vol. 1.”
Vocalist Nick Holland commented:
“Unlike other videos in the past where we’d had a lot of preproduction time, this video was something we had to put together very last minute and even up until the morning of filming, we didn’t have much of an idea of what we would be shooting. Our friend Indy directed and we shot it early in the morning in the basement of the Masonic Temple we were playing later that night. It resulted in an extremely frantic, frenetic and panic-inducing visual presentation that perfectly coincided with the sound and nature of the song itself. We knew we wanted to include footage pertaining to bomb making/bombings and data centers, but we found that surprisingly archived violent stock footage used to be much easier to find on the internet. So instead of archival stock, the majority of the bombing footage ended up being screen recordings of live videos on social media taken in places like Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine and Iran. Perhaps that’s a direct reflection of our time anyways: the difficulty in navigating puritanical, unnecessary censorship of media while simultaneously being permitted exposure to horrific acts of real life violence as it occurs in real time.”
