Tallah have returned with another preview of their upcoming album “Primeval: Obsession // Detachment”. Today’s unveiling comes in the form of a music video for the track “A Primeval Detachment”, released well in advance of the album’s scheduled September 5th drop.
Sharing their thoughts on the new single, the band collectively stated: “This is not only the heaviest entry on the record, but potentially the heaviest in our entire discography. It’s relentless, top to bottom. Acting as the opening track of Act 2, the intro to the song really sets the tone. The pretty string quartet from Act 1 is falling apart, and the album takes a much darker turn. The final breakdown of this track is going to be a highlight at live shows, guaranteed.”
Bassist Max Portnoy, who took on both directing and editing duties for the music video, further commented: “Shooting this video affirmed one thing for me… We have the best fans. So many people rolled up to this random underpass on short notice. We had our friend pull up with a truck full of scaffolding, and we weren’t sure if the shoot would be shutdown after 15 minutes of setting up, but our fans jumped in to help set up and teardown everything as fast as possible. Legitimately could not have done this video without them.”
The upcoming album “Primeval: Obsession // Detachment” is also being launched alongside a browser-based game titled ‘The Primeval Game’, developed in collaboration with Enzo Interactive. Frontman Justin Bonitz shared the following about the project:
“The ‘Primeval’ Game is a way to fully immerse yourself into this album. You get to interact with the world we’ve created and follow the story firsthand. Were updating the game every month, with new content that furthers the story, along with tons of album and song teasers and easter eggs scattered around. It’s a really fun and unique way of promoting an album that I’m surprised more bands aren’t doing."
