DRUG HONKEY PREMIERE MACABRE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'POOL OF FAILURE'
Chicago-based industrial doom lords DRUG HONKEY have exclusively premiered their macabre new video for 'Pool of Failure' via Metal Hammer.
The latest from the band's fifth album Cloak of Skies, Metal Hammer calls the video "a hypnotic mix of sinister and creepy imagery, featuring bandaged bodies and people screaming amongst a sea of flickering and fading effects."

Recorded by the band themselves at SOS Studio in Chicago and Everflow Studios in Berwyn, IL, Cloak of Skies boasts seven tracks, including a remix by the legendary Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu) and a guest saxophone feature from Bruce Lamont (Yazuka, Corrections House, Brain Tentacles). Cover art was hand-painted by renowned artist Paulo Girardi (Inquisition, Power Trip).

Seeking to create something audibly unique, they merged elements of doom, death and electronic together to straddle the lines of unconventional and experimental. With a healthy catalog of five full-length albums and one EP, DRUG HONKEY have earned a plethora of rave reviews over the years. The band has had the privilege to perform with the likes of Today Is the Day, Buzzov*en and Indian, just to name a few. Enough fanfare surfaced to even merit an invitation to Denmark's prestigious Roskilde Festival in 2014.

It's an unlikely marriage of styles, but Drug Honkey makes it work incredibly well." - Decibel "This is an album that stretches the death manifestation to its limits..." - CVLT Nation
