AHEAD of their sold-out tour around the UK later this month, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes have unveiled an exhilarating new video for ‘Vampires’.
Shot by Tom Welsh while the band were on tour with Biffy Clyro, the clip is a thrilling document of life on the road; alternating between back stage footage and a live performance. Known to elicit savage chaos at their gigs, the video captures the band doing what they do best against the relentless backdrop of the track while confirming Carter’s status as one of the most iconic frontmen in modern UK rock music.
Taken from the critically acclaimed Modern Ruin which came out earlier this year and rocketed up to number 7 in the charts, the track is a perfect snapshot of the album; channelling all of Carter’s rage and anxiety into three minutes of catchy alt-rock, its relentless rhythms and guttural guitar riffs build up to a hugely anthemic chorus.
For those lucky enough to have tickets, the video is sure to ramp up the anticipation for the aforementioned UK tour even further. Taking in cities such as Manchester, Leeds, Dublin and London, the band will play a sold out show at St Lukes in Glasgow on 19th March.
