Octohawk: New music video from the DIY titans from Norway!

“Hailing from Drammen, Norway, Octohawk is not just another band; we are a self-made force, pushing the boundaries of creativity and creative independence. In an industry dominated by outsourcing and big-budget productions, we stand apart by doing it all ourselves. From the very first riff to the artwork of the album cover and final cut of our music videos, Octohawk is in complete control.

We record and produce our own music, ensuring that every track is infused with our unfiltered vision and delutions of grandeur. But we don’t stop there. When it comes to our music videos, we take on every role – director, camera operator, actor, and editor – crafting visual experiences that are as authentic as our sound. Every note you hear, every scene you watch, all the visuals you see is a product of our dedication and hands-on approach.

This becomes evident in the music video for our opening track »Arcane Dawn«. Filmed in the mountains of Norway (where we scared the shit out of the tourists and hikers) and our own backyard. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have bled for it!”

Octohawk’s sophomore album takes the listener out of the prehistoric world from the debut »Animist« and into the current and future era of determinism: humanity has left the world of mysteries, wonders, and chance. In a reality where all is calculated, analyzed, and predetermined, humans thrive on scientific progress, but at what cost? If everything is certain, humans have deprived themselves of the illusion of free will and the wonders of life.

»Determinist« is a synopsis of the deterministic era, from the humble experimental beginnings to the complete coalescence with ever-flowing information. Each of the seven tracks represents the significant stages in this endeavor, from man on the ground to being a part of the eternal stream.

This will hit fans of The Ocean, Mastodon, and Igorr right in the face – with expanded diversity, heavier, and more of the good stuff!
