Los Angeles-based Southern groove metal outfit ALL
HAIL THE YETI recently filmed an incredible new video for the seventh
track from their pending self-titled debut LP.
“The Art Of Mourning” is about a gunslinger who wants out of
his "deviant" lifestyle, and is trying to settle down with his wife
and kids, but the people above him don’t want to lose their best gun. So they
murder his kids, rape and hang his wife. and leave them for dead on the porch
of his burnt-down ranch. Now this torn man with nothing left, has to decide
whether to come to terms with the consequences of a life that he chose. Or take
revenge on the men that took everything from him. Filmed in Vancouver,
British Columbia with director Rob Cantin, the video combines close-up
performance footage of ALL HAIL THE YETI cut into a gritty,
Western movie storyline chock full of old-school debauchery, brutal gunfights
and gory head-shots utilizing actual .45 revolvers, a full-on lynching and all
kinds of high-action entertainment!
Stated ALL HAIL THE YETI vocalist Connor
Garritty on the video’s inception and creation: “Rob and I have been friends
for many years and we share a love for the Old West and the gunfighters of the
late 1800's. We have done a couple paranormal investigations of hot spots like
tombstone's birdcage theater, and Bisbee Arizona, trying to get some sort of
glimpse of what life would have been like back then. We had a blast making this
clip and this is just the beginning for us. We are already in talks about the
next one. With these ventures you learn new things every time, and each moment
becomes a memory. That is the most important thing to us!”

Uniting elements of sludge metal, hardcore and groove-laden
hard rock, ALL HAIL THE YETI's self-titled debut album
captures the act's most crushing tunes to date, with over a solid hour of
thunderous riffage. Featuring well-known tattoo artist Connor
Garritty of Timeless Tattoos in Los Angeles, ALL HAIL THE YETI have
forged their own path through what they see as a desolate Hollywood music
scene, the hard-working unit dead-set against burning out like so many bands
from the same town and scene have over the past few decades of heavy music.
Recorded with producers Tommy Decker and Mike Sarkisyan the band’s debut
LP will be released in North America via German metal juggernaut AFM Records on
August 28th.
