Future Static Unleash The Ferocious Single 'Venenosa' & Its Mystifying Music Video

Future Static have released a new single Venenosa. One of Australia’s most talked about breakthrough acts, the Naarm/Melbourne-based alternative heavy outfit shared Venenosa and its mystifying music video this morning via their label, Wild Thing Records. 

Venenosa showcases a heavier, more intense side of Future Static, exploding with scorching guitar and thunderous drums, as vocalist Amariah Cook's melodies swell with a distinct blend of seduction and venom. 

Future Static explains the inspiration behind Venenosa.

“‘Venenosa’ (Spanish for 'poisonous') is based on Amariah’s experience of coming to realise that the negative energy surrounding her was in fact due to her own toxic behaviour towards the people who she was supposed to care for. It takes the listener through the very intense journey she took to rid herself of this toxicity that was festering inside the depths of her subconscious, and how she came out the other side full of love and respect for herself and those around her again.”

Taking cues from archetypal films such as The Shining and The Evil Dead, and featuring bewildering special effects, the video clip for Venenosa shows the band being subject to sickening anguish within the confinements of a supposedly possessed manor. Containing body horror and spectacular aesthetics, the clip skilfully depicts the song’s dark sentiment.

The single was produced by Christopher Vernon (Windwaker) with the theatrical music video helmed by fabled director Colin Jeffs (Alpha Wolf). Venenosa follows the previous single Waves which marked the debut of the charismatic Cook's powerful soprano vocals. 

To support the release of Venenosa, Future Static will join alternative-metal giants Circles on a national tour. Details can and tickets for the tour can be found here.
