After their most recent music video release in April called “In Time”, Jaggfuzzbeats is back at it again but this time in a whole other direction. “Fade” is the band’s latest single from their upcoming sophomore album. What’s unique about their latest release is the difference in mood between how the song sounds like and the tone that the music video gives out.
The song starts with the normal Jaggfuzzbeats-rock style of riffs with pounding floor toms and bass drums that syncs in with snares and the tune. When the chorus kicks in, listeners can detect a sense of sarcasm that comes with the rock, asking followers to throw all their hopes away and join them in their journey. It’s an incredible sound that fills listeners full of intrigue and curiosity.
Now, what really makes this into a complete package is the MV that comes with it. Only by viewing the MV can listeners understand the entirety of the message that the band is trying to convey.
Citing dark cult-like elements that entices viewers to feel the uneasiness that’s being displayed while at the same time having a distinct alluring style that keeps viewers glued to the screen until the entirety of the video. Elements such as human sacrifice, drinking from a plate that contains unknown liquids (blood possibly?) and holding two people on leashes clearly portrays the dark and sinister tone that the band is trying to convey. The characters portrayed in the music video all donned dresses and garments that were fully white, which is a caricature on the typical style that cult leaders and cult followers may wear.
The unique elements and sound present in the video will leave viewers wanting more from the upcoming album as this is but just a taste of what’s coming soon. Check out the music video above, tell us what you think of it.
