Mariam The Believer - "Above the World"

VideostheneedledropComment

Mariam The Believer's Blood Donation was definitely one of 2013's greatest albums. It was also one of the year's most mystifying, perhaps the greatest question it left us with being, "How do I dance to this?" Well, fret over this no more, for the answer is revealed in this new video for highlight "Above the World." You probably could have guessed it entails going out to the woods (on a foggy day, naturally), convulsing wildly, and climbing trees, but whatever; it's killer all the same. Watch above and enjoy!

Nebelung - "Mittwinter"

NEBELUNG 'Mittwinter' (official music video) from ToT Records on Vimeo.

"Hauntingly beautiful" is an apt description for the music of neo-folk act Nebelung. It certainly fits this new music video for upcoming LP Palingenesis's lead single "Mittwinter." Mostly set in the wilderness, the visuals are gorgeous; although, it is rather melancholic, cutting back and forth between a woman in-trance in a dim room lit by a candle and a woman who appears to have left society and digs up her own body in the woods. The intensity of the instrumentation and video build nicely together. Check it out above.

Palingenesis is out February 18 via Temple of Torturous.
