Ever wondered what it would look like to let a mad scientist loose in a recording studio with an unlimited supply of double-kick pedals? Enter Igorrr’s “Headbutt” video—a chaotic, auditory adventure that’s just as wild as a mid-set mosh pit at a Cannibal Corpse gig. The magic—or madness—begins with footage from the actual recording of the track, capturing the band’s raw energy. It’s a visceral spectacle that’s more an assault on your senses than a simple music video. Let’s be honest—it hits harder than your first introduction to black metal when you were still wondering why that dude was wearing corpse paint.
In typical Igorrr fashion, the eclectic blend of genres is both baffling and brilliant. You’ve got Gautier Serre, the genius with a PhD in Avant-Garde Metal Madness, crafting the electronic and sound design elements that could easily lead a charge into Valhalla. Layer in Martyn Clément’s ungodly guitar riffs and JB Le Bail’s screams echoing like a banshee in heat, and you’ve got yourself a track that defies categorization. It’s like if Mozart joined Meshuggah—chaos, precision, and a whole lot of headbanging glory.
Then there’s the piano. Oh, the poor piano. Igorrr’s disclaimer about the destruction of an already broken instrument at the video’s end is almost poetic—giving a dying piano one last moment to shine. It’s a moment reminiscent of the time you’d heard about your favorite band smashing their gear because the feedback was blown. Except this was one for the salvage crew records. Metalheads know the importance of ensuring our instruments live—and die—epically.
It’s not just the sheer power of the music; it’s the visuals that drag you back in for more. Imagine Svarta Photography capturing every gritty detail, those moments that make you question whether Igorrr accidentally tore a hole in the space-time continuum. There’s nothing sterile or polished here, just pure, unfiltered creativity. Even the choir—directed by Stephan Nicolay—adds an unexpectedly haunting depth, because why not throw in some classical vocals to spice things up?
So yeah, “Headbutt” is outrageous, brilliant, and not for the faint of heart. Igorrr once again pushes boundaries, proving that metal doesn’t have to fit into a neat little box. Fans can check out more chaotic adventures with links available on platforms like Instagram and TikTok. But be warned, once you dive into Igorrr’s world, you might not come back—or you’ll come back wearing a shirt that says “I survived an Igorrr recording session.”
