Telekinetic Yeti’s Video for “Beast” is a Technicolor Trip Across Time and Space
Iowa-based stoner/doom metal duo Telekinetic Yeti dropped a doozy of a music video for the track “Beast” off their 2022 album Primordial earlier today.
Featuring a trippy animated/live action style (otherwise known as rotoscope), the video below is one hell of a visual treat. Coupled with the monolithic riffs and killer rhythms produced by Alex Baumann (guitar/vocals) and Rockwel Heim (drums), what you get is one of the cooler music videos released this year.
Speaking on the track itself, the band said “Beast” was about the social malaise that’s been plaguing humanity as of late. Especially the bullshit rat race of late-stage capitalism.
“’Beast’ is a reflection on societal disillusionment and the inherent desire to escape the cyclical trap of wage slavery. Acknowledging that these empires are built on sand as well as the human need to escape the tentacles that bind us through mindless, obligatory, financially-centered routines facilitated by hypnotic black magic.”
While the band has spent a large chunk of the past year on the road in support of Primordial, the band is currently out on tour with JD Pinkus. You can find the full list of tour dates, as well as a link to get your hands on tickets of your own, below.
