Grindhouse grit, occult psychedelia, and bikesploitation cool: Such are the ingredients of the video for “Exile.” The hard-rocking song marks the high point of Hic Abundant Leones, the debut album by The Tower—a cultish cabal of tuneful Swedes with a bloodlust for, well, blood and lust. Oh, and Satan. Concealed beneath the group’s worship of vintage Pentagram and Alice Cooper, though, is a knack for sorcerous melody and leather-clad swagger that’s more or less unfuckwithable. The NSFW video for “Exile,” in all its groovy, goat-headed glory, is being debuted here. Saddle up and get thee on the highway to Hell.
Hic Abundant Leones will be released April 15 via Bad Omen Records.
