Order: Abnormality “Cymatic Hallucinations“ from the “Mechanisms of Omniscience“ album. Subscribe: Mallika Sundaramurthy - Vocals Jay Blaisdell - Drums Josh Staples - Bass Sam Kirsch - Guitars Jeremy Henry - Guitars Drummer Jay Blaisdell: “Overall, the song is about applying the concept of cymatics (the effects of sound & vibrational frequency on matter), to tripping hard on shrooms. Basically it's describing the trip of all trips. A hallucinogenic experience so intense that the auditory hallucinations experienced actually cause a cymatic alteration to the persons physical reality and existence, or even everyones physical reality and existence. It's a pretty fucked up scenario. I personally have had really intense trips with both visual and auditory hallucinations. The sounds hallucinated are always indistinguishable from the real vibrational sounds. The whole concept has always intrigued me.“ Director Jim Foster: “As we embarked on our second video together my goal was to portray Abnormality's intense energy on a large scale while bringing their concept of a “trip“ into the darkness of the mind into a reality. And as always, Metal Blade is incredibly supportive in letting bands and directors see their visions through.“ Jim Foster - Producer, Director, Editor Anthony Jarvis - Co-Director, Director of Photography.
