Last updated 3rd Apr 2017
Post-hardcore powerhouses At The Drive-In have shared the animated video for their blistering new song ‘Hostage Stamps’.
Following in the hallowed footsteps of ‘Governed by Contagions’ and ‘Incurably Innocent’, ‘Hostage Stamps’ is the third taster of At The Drive-In’s first studio album in 17 years ‘in•ter a•li•a’, which lands on Friday 5th May.
Frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala describes the track as “like walking through the hallway in some war-torn ghetto and reading the writing on the wall.”
Directed by Rob Shaw & Damon Locks, the eerie dystopian video utilises both stop-motion and digital animation to tell the story of an imprisoned man being tormented at the hands of his faceless captors.
‘in•ter a•li•a’ is the follow-up to 2000’s seminal masterpiece ‘Relationship of Command’.
