Marthe shares ‘To Ruined Altars…’
The second look at her forthcoming album ‘Further In Evil’ arrives ahead of its October 20th release via Southern Lord.
An atmospheric and aggressive blend of punk, ‘Further In Evil’ is a shift in gears from her musical background in the anarcho-punk scene and inspired by riot grrrl, crust and d-beat. The lyrics are full of rage and the music is full of strength; it has the power of Bathory and the sadness of Tiamat, tinged with the stench of Amebix. An epic new music video for the album’s second single ‘To Ruined Altars…’ has arrived. Of the single, Marthe comments: “To ruined altars you light no light is a popular Italian saying that means wasting time on useless people or causes. I manipulated the sentence a bit in order to have an aesthetic sense; it means don’t waste candles or flowers on a broken or damaged altar since it won’t bring any benefit because of its condition. It also refers historically, for example, to women that can’t have kids anymore to point out that any kind of love, commitment, or engagement won’t result in having kids which was crucial to the family legacy in past ages. In general, it refers to anyone that feels trashed by someone that used to praise you before and then just lost interest.” She continues: “my memories are dark books you burnt while walking away refers to losing love for places or situations when the people you used to enjoy them with are no longer there, so your memories are ruined forever and there’s nothing you can do about it. Sense of loss will prevail and all you live after it is haunted by the lost memory of gone days.”
Directed by Marthe and Silvia Polmonari. Marthe has long been a self-sufficient and introspective voice in metal and punk, and further cements that with the release of ‘Further In Evil’ on October 20th.
