The video for Hella drummer Zach Hill's "Dark Art", from his forthcoming album on Ipecac Astrological Straits, could be a meditation on the loneliness of the long distance runner, except that Hill is in corpse paint, looking like he's dressed for a Black Metal show, and he's spitting blood now and then while he jogs. We watch as he treks through a very nice suburban neighborhood in his Adidas shell-toes, black trench coat on his back and chain mail on his wrists, and we wait for something big to happen but it never does. Still, the song has an appealing noise-rock grind, with characteristically pummeling percussion and a surprising amount of melody.
