IATT just released a new video for “Powder of Sympathy,” out now on their latest record, Nomenclature via Black Lion Records.
“Directed by IATT’s own Alec Pezzano, the crew spent a solid five weeks in preparation, crafting and executing the shoot for Powder of Sympath,” the band says. “The video follows in line with the themes of the track’s title; highlighted by a surrealist atmosphere of dark, dirty, and macabre imagery.
“The occult, underbelly nature of these practices concocting said powder from bone, earth, worm, and the dead, all visually represented and melded in the fire as an offering to a dark presence. These represent all elements of this practice (though at times visually deconstructed) and offered up to otherworldly forces to seal the concoction with intent.”
Now in the current landscape of extreme metal, IATT have fixated their eye on progression and pushing the boundaries of their sound, delivering a dynamic, aggressive flurry of darkness and grandeur. On their sophomore album Nomenclature, blackened progressive extremists IATT usher in a new era.
Packing a pummeling 10 tracks of ink-black madness, Nomenclature delves into themes of mysticism and the dark nature surrounding primitive medicine circa 1700. Tales of horror surrounding ghastly practices, diseases mistaken for malevolent forces, and the terrors of crude medicine set the stage for an auditory onslaught sculpted with scalpel-like precision. This opus casts the listeners into a world of science and occult/superstitions, the horrors of primitive medicine and malpractice.
