| Conflict In the 1920s-esque music video, frontman Joost plays a prize fighter who has a conflict with his shady manager, played by drummer Paul. The band drew inspiration from the series Peaky Blinders, Mamma Said Knock You Out by LL Cool J and “1920s Bep van Klaveren style” for the content and the style, according to Paul who created the concept of the video. Ink Bomb collaborated with Casper Rutjes from Breadclip and the video was filmed at De Moor Media. Doubtful lovers The title Frankenstein refers to a horror story. The lyrics tell the story of two doubtful lovers. “I did that in the metaphor of a thriller, containing a crime scene and a murder victim,” singer Joost explains. The work of a fiend A serpent, devil unseen Count your prayers Or it might kill the dream Writing process The title of the song also refers to the writing process. Like the monster of Frankenstein, the Ink Bomb song Frankenstein consists of parts put together. These are various riffs based on styles other than traditional skate punk, such as indie, grunge and hardcore. Guitarist Quirijn: “While writing our second album I have captured many ideas in the past twelve months. When I listened back to that, I suddenly heard that these separate parts would fit well together.” Ink Bomb will be returning to the studio very soon to record more songs for their second album, expected in 2023. |
