Portland (USA)-based indie/gothic rock iconic outfit Federale released a new video for the track "Dark Waters". The song is a homage to the goth rock and deathrock of bands like The Sisters Of Mercy, Love And Rockets and Echo & The Bunnymen. Showcasing their sixth studio album Reverb & Seduction, released by Jealous Butcher Records in July this year, this marks their 20th anniversary. Frontman Collin Hegna has also been a member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre for equally as long.
"Dark Waters' is the heaviest and darkest Federale track to date. It represents the furthest stylistic departure from Federale's traditional sound on a record featuring many such departures. I fully embraced the 80s goth influences that have been creeping into our songs for the past couple years and turned up the chorus pedal to Stun", says Collin Hegna.
The "Dark Waters" video was filmed at Portland's Coffin Club on Cinco De Mayo 2024 - 20 years to the day of Federale's first live show. A goth-themed bar repeatedly voted one of the Top-10 themed bars in the world, its decor is dominated by ephemera representing horror film icons, the macabre, dark music legends, and the occult in general – the perfect setting for this horror-themed video and song.
