The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere the new music video for "Rye Fire" by MATTE BLVCK. Inspired by the elements of the bands they have worked with and moving beyond them, they deliver a soundtrack of sinister pleasures for an uncertain world as if it was everyone’s last night on Earth. I'm Waving, Not Drowning is MATTE BLVCK’s debut release and it captures the band’s affinity for dark synthwave while complimenting it with epic, gritty industrial anthems and unabashedly embracing their love of underground techno.

“Rye Fire” is a journey of self discovery gone horribly wrong. It’s about opening yourself up and looking within only to find that amongst the beauty of one’s soul could lie a horrible monster within.

Thus, in order to find the path to enlightenment, you must confront and learn to understand that evil inside you. You either embrace that monster and become something motivated completely by evil, or you tackle it head on knowing that by acknowledging and fighting that demon every day, you can become a better person. “Rye Fire “cuts deep into me because I know I walk that fine line each and every day.

Visuals created by: Acid Thermal and Daniel Corrales.

The release is available now on digital format & 12″ Vinyl. Pick up on Bandcamp.
