Los Angeles’ modern rockers BUDDERSIDEreturn four years after being signed to Motörhead Musicby the late Motörheadvocalist Lemmy Kilmisterto follow-up their 2016 self-titled debut with a reinvigorated lineup and a scorching new sophomore effort, SPIRITUAL VIOLENCE., scheduled for release on March 26 via Motörhead Music / Silver Lining Music.
BUDDERSIDE has unveiled the album debut single ‘Zen’ alongside its engaging and thrill-inducing music video which was filmed at various locations in Tokyo, Japan.
“We went all the way to Tokyo to bring an authentic experience to our fans,” shares BUDDERSIDE vocalist/founder PATRICK STONE. “When I think of Zen, I imagine monks, bonsai trees, waterfalls, and temples.
While the song was written in a complete state of Zen, the video finds us being seduced by desire and lured into a den of evil, from which there is no escape. The nightmare of Kuchisake-onna, Kappa, Rokurokubi and Gashadokuro come to life before your very eyes.
It reaches out to those who are unable to find Zen due to the demons that chase us always getting in the way and shows how we must find a way to escape them in order to find inner peace.”
