Noise/drone/post-industrial act Diminishing has delivered a video for the track "The Rats I've Fed" from its demoralizing debut album, The Unnamable, released last year through Anti-Corporate Music.
Formed in 2019 by New York-based David Brenner (Gridfailure) and Texas-based Lane Oliver (Yatsu), Diminishing is a tense, emotionally devastating project that paints in shades of industrial, dark ambient, drone metal, noise, and more. On The Unnamable, semi-improvisational, destructive guitar work collides with haunting atmospherics, mechanical rhythms, and walls of cacophony to create a soul-crushing sound that resides somewhere between Godflesh, Nurse With Wound, Merzbow, Lustmord, Gnaw Their Tongues, Khanate, and Nine Inch Nails' The Downward Spiral, while thematically exploring existential crises, anxiety in the face of the unknown, and personal failings.
As with the album's two prior videos, the visual accompaniment for "The Rats I've Fed" was filmed by Diminishing, directed and edited by David Brenner.
Oliver writes: "'The Rats I've Fed' deals with the stress and burnout that comes with taking on more than you can handle. It's about constantly giving yourself to things and people that give nothing in return. It's about having your bandwidth depleted and becoming a mental wreck". Link
