Sludgy noise rock outfit Chat Pile have dropped a music video for their song “The Mask“. The group had Juan Vargas dirt the clip, which you can take in below. Speaking to Revolver about the song, the band’s bassist Korn-worshipping bassist Stin had the following to say:
“We have a very good friend who wrote a book loosely inspired by the killing spree committed by Roger Dale Stafford in Oklahoma in the late Seventies. Raygun based the song on the book so it’s a bit of a “picture within a picture” take on the events that took place. It’s one of the most outwardly dark songs on the album for sure.”
He also spoke of the video as well:
“The video was made by Jaun Vargas, and the concepts and visuals are all completely his. The video doesn’t relate to the song at all by design — the idea being to take a more ethereal, abstract approach to the visuals. Mark my words, we’ll never make a literal music video and you’ll never see our dumbasses dancing around in them either!”
