Noisy Christians Norma Jean’s scorching video for “Songs Sound Much Sadder” will receive its MTV2 debut this week on Headbangers Ball. The track is from the band’s latest album Redeemer, which came out last September.
The surreal video was directed by PopCore Films and features the band members dressed as doctors in surgical masks observing test subjects on exercise bicycles. As the patients perspire, their sweat is accumulated and injected into a vat, but something goes wrong when a rosebush bursts out of the ground, the musicians wind up on the bikes and the patients flee.
Where did they go? Maybe to Australia, where Norma Jean are currently in the middle of a tour with Every Time I die. On July 18 the band will join the Warped Tour in Atlanta. They will stay on the bill for five shows, through July 27 in Orlando, Florida.
Now, here’s the equally bizarre “Blueprints for Future Homes,” which was also directed by PopCore:
