Mammoth Grinder — the death-metal outfit featuring members of Power Trip, Iron Reagan and Darkest Hour — have shared a trippy visual for "Locust's Nest," an infernal, entomologically-inspired highlight off the trio's terrific fourth LP, Cosmic Crypt. Directed by Jenn Smith, the video plays out as a a lo-fi, technicolor collage capturing the song's titular bug swarm in all its creepy-crawly glory. Insect-averse viewers should consider themselves warned.
Cosmic Crypt is out now via Relapse. You can get it here. Previously, the Austinites unveiled a sinister clip for "Servant of the Most High."
