Serbian Black Metallers KOLAC have just released a visualizer video for their new single ‘Eppur Si Muove’ at this location. Here’s what the band had to say about it: “‘Eppur Si Muove’ is a first glimpse into KOLAC’s new promo material, as well as the full length to come. It also marks the opening of the gates to our cooperation with Pest Records that is to bear hellish fruit later on. The song itself, as its title suggests, deals with Galileo Galilei. And not just him as the track stands for all the wrongfully accused and burned at the stake in the name of science. Thus, KOLAC makes the first into the semi-conceptual record that will see many more pyres surround innocent (and otherwise) individuals.” For more KOLAC info, please visit www.facebook.com/kolachorde
