The accompanying music video leans into a grindhouse aesthetic, as the band host bass player auditions that take a gruesome turn, paying homage to the campy slasher B-movies of the 70s and 80s.<\/p>\n<p>Frontman <strong>J\u00f8rn Kaarstad<\/strong> explains, <em>\u201cI\u00a0love scary movies and campy \u201970\/\u201980s horror has a special place in my heart.
