TAKE OVER AND DESTROY – Album Trailer Streaming

With a penchant for horror and classic rock, Arizona quartet Take Over And Destroy have propelled the boundaries with the ten tracks featured on their debut Prosthetic Records self-titled release due October 7th. Merging their eerie post-punk atmospherics with a blackened rock’n’roll twist, the band’s signature sound is completed by heavy deathrock, classic rock, doom and black metal influences scattered throughout each track. A new album trailer is streaming below.

Take Over And Destroy commented, “Our idea behind this album is that each song is crafted as a single and curated into a collection. From early Beatles singles collections, to Misfits & Black Flag collections. Each song is its own entity, but is part of a unified design. To accompany the album we wanted the visual elements to portray the same concept. A collage of individual images converge together to form a whole”. The band continue to reveal, “The album includes a double sided cover, with collages on both sides of the packaging. Another dimension presents itself by turning the covers upside down; a new image emerges.”

Honing in on their cinematic inspirations, the quartet have showcased the album’s debut single, “By Knife”, with an unnerving, found footage shot music video.

“The video tells a story of a young couple in love”, the band states, “They are at their usual spot along the river having a romantic picnic date. What they don’t know is that they’re not alone. Those familiar with famous murders of the ’60s and ’70s may notice correlations with a certain unidentified astrological killer in both the video and music.Although the video takes place in a nonspecific time era, we do know that there’s someone out there who is quite handy with a VHS camcorder. Just remember… life’s not always a picnic.”

The video can be seen below.
