Get ready to be entranced by the dark, thought-provoking soundscape as South Africa own
progressive doom virtuosos Acid Magus unleash their latest masterpiece — a riveting music
video for their track Dead Weight from their critically acclaimed new album Hope Is Heavy
out now on Mongrel Records. This release delves into the heart of modern popular culture's
relentless imitation game, challenging conventions and inviting viewers to question the
status quo. To amplify the impact, the track features a captivating guest vocals appearance
from none other than the esteemed front man Johni Holiday from prominent South African
stoner rock sensations Ruff Majik.
Johni takes on a dual role, gracing the track with his unmistakable voice while also
embodying the main antagonist in the music video. In a stunning visual portrayal, he
assumes the role of a vampire, reigning as a corporate overlord in a dystopian, cutthroat
business environment.
