TAKE OVER AND DESTROY - Studio Documentary Video Streaming

Arizona black'n'roll outfit Take Over And Destroy take you behind-the-scenes during the recording of their upcoming self-titled album, due out on October 7 via Prosthetic Records. Check out what to expect in their new studio documentary:

With a penchant for horror and classic rock, Take Over And Destroy have propelled the boundaries with the ten tracks featured on their debut self-titled release. Merging their eerie post-punk atmospherics with a blackened rock'n'roll twist, the band's signature sound is completed by heavy deathrock, classic rock, doom and black metal influences scattered throughout each track.

Take Over And Destroy commented, "Our idea behind this album is that each song is crafted as a single and curated into a collection. From early Beatles singles collections, to Misfits & Black Flag collections. Each song is its own entity, but is part of a unified design. To accompany the album we wanted the visual elements to portray the same concept. A collage of individual images converge together to form a whole". The band continue to reveal, "The album includes a double sided cover, with collages on both sides of the packaging. Another dimension presents itself by turning the covers upside down; a new image emerges."

Honing in on their cinematic inspirations, the quartet have showcased the album's debut single, "By Knife", with an unnerving, found footage shot music video.

"The video tells a story of a young couple in love", the band states, "They are at their usual spot along the river having a romantic picnic date. What they don't know is that they're not alone. Those familiar with famous murders of the '60s and '70s may notice correlations with a certain unidentified astrological killer in both the video and music.Although the video takes place in a nonspecific time era, we do know that there's someone out there who is quite handy with a VHS camcorder. Just remember... life's not always a picnic."

The video can be seen below.
