“When hell is full, the dead will walk the earth – turns out they like rock ‘n roll too“
– Ruff Majik
Lead Pills And Thrills is the third single to be released from The Devil’s Cattle, the
upcoming album from South African stoner rock collective Ruff Majik. It’s the first one to
feature long-time producer and new member Evert Snyman plus founding member Johni
Holiday front and centre on vocal duties. It’s also first time the band experimented with
piano driven rock ‘n roll. Lyrically, the song deals with crippling addiction to both lost love
and alcohol.
The video is the conceptual follow up for the animated feature for previous single Who
Keeps Score.
“Jimmy (bassist) and I are both out in the wasteland, being pursued by zombies. Evert has
been taken hostage by a zombie horde to be the personal piano man for their bar – and we
set out to rescue him. Once there, we discover we’ve have fallen right into a clumsily
planned trap.”, laughs Johni.
This music video (as with the previous videos and album art) is a love letter to B-grade
horror and action movies, and this vision was captured perfectly by Tiger And Lilly
Productions.
