Bigelf – Music Video for ‘Pain Killers’ from “Hex” Posted Up

Thursday, November 1, 2007

Los Angeles psychedelic rockers BIGELF has posted its music video for the song “Pain Killers” online at this location. The track is taken from the band’s cult, underground album Hex. Recorded in 2003, Hex is available domestically for the first time ever via the Custard label and is in stores now.

Often described as “a cross between Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath” and “The Evil Beatles“, BIGELF channels all of its influences and delivers music that shares an appeal with metal enthusiasts, classic hard rock fans and vintage prog-heads alike. Originally released via the EastWest (Warner) label, Hex is BIGELF ’s masterwork. Recorded using only vintage equipment, the album charted on the Scandinavian Top 10 upon its European-only 2003 release and saw shining critical acclaim for its diabolically-heavy pop rife with epic guitars, maniacal keyboards and rich, sophisticated harmonies laid over a foundation of hallucinatory hard rock. Among the album’s stand out moments is ”Rock & Roll Contract”, a superb pop song with an infectious hook and great lyrics that slam a fist down upon the corporate rock engine, “Falling Bombs” with its spectacular synth soloing and the dark, power chord-driven opener “Mad Hatter.”

The final track listing for Hex is as follows:

1. Madhatter
2. Bats in the Belfry II
3. Pain Killers
4. Disappear
5. Rock & Roll Contract
6. Sunshine Suicide
7. Falling Bombs
8. Black Moth
