Australian melodic doom metal band Mammon's Throne have revealed the second video single, "Departed", from their approaching third full-length, My Body To The Worms, due on 13 March via Hammerheart Records.
"Departed" is a homage to the 90's gothic western, showcasing the band's love and inspiration for acts such as (early) Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Wayfarer and Fields Of The Nephilim.
Mammon's Throne on "Departed": "Halfway through writing the album, Amesh brought 3 bar chords into the studio and the beginning of 'Departed' was born. Without any planning, the song progressed into a doomy, gothic, western ballad. An atmosphere the band had always wanted to explore, given our love of Fields Of The Nephilim, Nick Cave, Wayfarer and the Watain song 'They Rode On'. It began to build intensity, which culminates in a black metal crescendo, which is a great representation of what Mammon's Throne is all about - genre splicing. The lyrics focus on selfishness and self-pity through the eyes of a character who cuts people out of their life while convincing themselves it's the right thing to do. Matthew has always wanted to translate his love of early Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds into a Mammon's Throne song, and that, along with other dark country influences, heavily influenced 'Departed''s opening vocal section. We wanted dramatic - and Amesh's guitar solo completely smashes the assignment and sets up the chaotic ending to this song. The music video for this one essentially wrote itself. We wanted to capture the gothic western vibe and have it mirror the intensity of the song. Johnny took up the director role and took heavy inspiration from 90s music videos when piecing this together". Link
