HARK release new video for "Nine Fates"
The UK's HARK have released a bewitching new music video for the track "Nine Fates". The incredibly striking video was directed by HARK vocalist and guitarist Jimbob Isaac, and was produced solely by the band. "Nine Fates" is streaming here now.
Regarding the video, HARK mastermind Jimbob Isaac comments: "While 'Machinations' has an overarching theme of technological overload, the deeper levels of lyrical matter point towards both spiritual and ancestral foundations. 'Nine Fates' digs further beneath the surface, and with that we took the video shoot to our homelands of Wales, to evoke the ancestral voices that can speak through us, if we let them. Being control freaks and creativity junkies, we directed, shot and edited the video ourselves. HARK is as always a hands-on entity. Other than collaborating with some close allies on the VFX, we made every inch of this video ourselves. Like the depicted Shaman conjuring her majik in the forest, we conjured this video from an unspoken part of our collective psyche. The nine fates will be done."
HARK have announced a new tour traveling across the UK this fall. The band kicks off their headlining trek on November 11, performing across Birmingham, London, Manchester and more. HARK have also announced two special dates in August and September, playing Arctangent Festival in the UK (with CONVERGE, EXPLOSIONS IN TH SKY and more) and Black Bass Fest in France respectively. A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.
HARK are touring in support of their newest album, 'Machinations'. The sophomore album, hailed as "likely to be one of the best, most kick-ass rock records of 2017" (Metal Injection) is available across multiple LP and CD formats here.
With 'Machinations', HARK deliver a perfectly crafted vision of hard-hitting heavy rock, expanding on their simultaneously progressive and muscular sonic palette. The weight and bombast is intact, but newly expanded to include virtuoso leads and melodic finesse. HARK v2.0 is now officially in widescreen, and 'Machinations' beautifully precise pummeling proves them a genuine force to be reckoned with. 'Machinations' showcases HARK's new lineup, including new lead guitarist Joe Horvatt, and bassist Tom Shortt, alongside founding members Jimbob Isaac - guitar/vocals, and Simon Bonwick - drums.
An overdose of dynamic heavy rock, 'Machinations' is streaming now at the respected UK newspaper The Independent HERE, alongside an in-depth feature and interview with band founder Jimbob Isaac. 'Machinations' is also streaming digitally at Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and more!
