Slicing up aggressive EDM with a more hardcore hip-hop element, Smacktown deliver spitfire sociopolitical insight with a daunting live presence. Featuring Jarren Benton (Funk Volume) & Jeff Turner and from the land down under AntiMatter (of Devastator) & Matuse, “Chelsea Grin” delivers a metaphorical stance against religious organizations and corporate greed. The modern revolutionaries in the video, represented by those in the vendetta masks, give our political, corporate, and religious characters a taste of their own medicine – money.
Taking the phrase “putting your money where your mouth is” to a whole new level (look up the brutally disturbing definition of a Chelsea Grin, if you’re still confused), the new video is available for viewing now, exclusively on Crave:
