“If we use the power of nature for evil, there will be insanity.” FLORAL IMAGE are back – and they’re not happy…

AHEAD of next month’s ‘Gone Down Meadowland’ album release (via Fuzz Club), Norwich-based FLORAL IMAGE present their ecologically aware new single, ‘Howling Dog Song.’

“This is about the inability of our elected officials to make any urgent impact on the impending destruction of our climate, due to the continued use of fossil fuels,” said Jack Warner (vocs/keys). “It has an unhinged energy which explodes with ferocity. We’re tired of inaction. We’re sick of petro-capitalism. We’re howling.”

Speaking of the song’s video, director M. Forsyth added, “We had nearly twenty-two minutes of some of the most riveting and dangerous stunt work ever put to digital film but ultimately, the studio and the band knew it was simply too much.

“I found within the B-roll a different narrative, one of noisy comradery, fear and overcoming, and love between modern men. Howling is a naked, bold, chaotic outcry to be loud and unflinching in the face of our terrifying fascist world. The message is simple – if we use the power of nature for evil, there will be insanity.”

Produced by the band, mixed by Hugh Fothergill of Volleyball, and mastered by Joseph Carra at Crystal Mastering, ‘Gone Down Meadowland’ will be promoted on an UK/EU tour throughout April and May, details below:
