New Zealand’s genre-bending rockers Written By Wolves have released a cinematic music video for epic new track ‘GIVE ‘EM HELL’.
“‘GIVE ‘EM HELL’ imagines a dystopian future not too distant and dissimilar from today where the need to unify has become critical to survival. It warns of an inevitable and impending armageddon should we not learn how to put aside our differences and unite against those that conspire to keep us down,” says vocalist Michael Murphy.
“The official music video marks both the beginning of a new chapter and the end of an era for Written By Wolves. Guitarist Bahador Borhani has taken the director’s chair for the last time and pieced together his final, cinematic masterpiece for the band, stepping away to focus on his newly founded business enterprise. The video itself is our darkest and most ambitious yet with a cast and crew of over 30, including two horses, stunt people, and one of New Zealand’s top martial artists. It focuses on a human chess game of life, death, and consequence with every move and is the perfect visual accompaniment to ‘GIVE ‘EM HELL,’” he adds.
Written By Wolves announced themselves on the world stage with their debut release, ‘Secrets’ in 2019 and followed that up with their 2021 hit EP ‘The Collab Project’, continuing to capture new listeners across the globe. Today, Written By Wolves are one of the highest streamed rock bands from New Zealand, having amassed more than 350,000 monthly listeners, 50,000 followers, and more than 60 million streams on Spotify, and over 113,000 subscribers and 66 million views on YouTube.
Renowned for their highly energetic live shows, Written By Wolves have already shared the stage with international heavyweights such as Machine Gun Kelly, Limp Bizkit, Pendulum, Sublime With Rome, Suicidal Tendencies, Hed PE, Escape The Fate, We The Kings, Four Year Strong, Stevie Stone, and Kehlani, and have recently completed back-to-back tours with two of New Zealand’s biggest Rock bands; Devilskin and Blindspott.
However, Written By Wolves are not done yet. Stay tuned to see what the rest of 2023 brings.
