New Zealand’s rock powerhouse Black Smoke Trigger has released their anthemic new single ‘K.M.T.L.’, complete with a dynamic music video that perfectly captures the song’s raw intensity. Stream the track HERE and watch the accompanying music video HERE or by clicking the thumbnail below.
‘K.M.T.L.’ speaks to the relentless drive and sometimes dizzying pursuit of making dreams a reality. Partly written at Nashville’s historic Sienna Studio and recorded by producer Nick Raskulinecz at his Rock Falcon Studio, the band channeled the grit and determination required to achieve success against the odds into their latest offering. The track sprang to life in the jam room, the initial riff playing out almost as if by instinct, guitarist and band leader, Charlie Wallace recounts “K.M.T.L. began in the jam room, I was talking to the band I noticed my hands were playing the beginning motif of the song, I just kept playing it and we started jamming. It felt like it was building to something so we wanted to write a chorus with tons of energy and I think we got just that by the end of the jam session.”
The music video for ‘K.M.T.L.’ is an adrenaline-fueled visual spectacle. “The opening line ‘It all keeps spinning’ was the inspiration for what was a highly energetic shoot on a circular camera dolly track,” explains Wallace. Filmed on a massive theatre stage next to the Auckland SkyTower, the video features continuous rotation, mirroring the song’s theme of pushing through the spin of life’s challenges to come out victorious on the other side. “It’s lit up like a big stage because we just wanted to show what people can expect when they see us play this track live.”
