Their forthcoming album Ultimate Success Today has had its release date pushed back
A series of everyday and unusual stills form the visualiser for the latest Protomartyr single 'Worm In Heaven'. A slow-burning grunge-indebted track, it arrives as a gift to sweeten the news that forthcoming album Ultimate Success Today has been pushed back to a July release date.
Vocalist Joe Casey takes 'Worm In Heaven' back to the days of Smashing Pumpkins greatest records with his emotive voice and powerful delivery of dark, philosophical themes.
A tide of guitars rise and fall, threatening to consume but always holding back, melancholy and undulating.
Hear the song:
The arresting video the song arrives with is reportedly inspired by Chris Marker's 1962 film La Jetée. “The idea is a sort of dream chamber that has lured its creator into a near-constant state of isolation,” director Trevor Naud explains.
The new single follows Clash-adjacent cut 'Processed By The Boys'.
Ultimate Success Today arrives 17 July via Domino.
