Video Of The Day V.H.X.
V.H.X. (Venganz Humano X) is a Spain-based post-punk outfit who use the emotional tension of everyday life to carve out a raw contemporary sound inspired by post-punk culture and eighties horror cinema.
The band have dropped their second video, “El Llanto de Caronte”, taken from last December’s debut 8-track EP, “Geometry of Chaos.”
Shrouded in the doubt, loss of identity, and self-destruction caused by forgiveness, the song unleashes the steadfast driving pace of tight drum beats and brooding, punchy bass lines over which a strobing wandering of flickering desolate synths, and jagged, buzzing guitar riffs with achingly ringing edges, tear, with doom-laden depth, urgent, restless male vocals into choppy echoing cries.
In the paired visuals, a distorted stream of consciousness composed of catastrophic, fallen angel imagery syncs with the soundtrack’s inner turmoil. A rapidly running nocturnal highway connects the present to the past, opening up a subterranean area where inverted vision multiplies identity at the hands of familial curses. A struggle for light in the dark waters of the unconscious mind begets a fiery, all-knowing eye apocalypse that ends with a black raven’s Charon cry.
