Today we have another contemporary track coming from the underground. Possibly the furthest thing from metal or traditional notions of what rock is (thus far on this blog), today's artist Lorn uses vast rock imagery specificly the dark, threatening tropes familiar to the death metal and black metal world to create an affecting aural and visual experience. Lorn's music comes from a recent (late 2010-2011) underground music subculture that has been given various names such as drag or witchouse based on its combination of gothic iconography, looming ominous drones, and chopped and screwed hip hop beats. The video for Tomorrow is a spectacular example of a diy project that creates a consistent aesthetic in image and sound, sucessfully scaring the shit out of anyone who watches it. The video itself seems to be a cross between a gothic - pagan ritual and a late night rave verging on riotous anarchy. Lorn is successful at macabre and this video is just plain badass.
