You know how strong you have to be to break a pair of handcuffs? I wasn’t sure. And I still don’t think I am. But I pulled a detective hat out of my ass and asked Google and the AI assistant told me that you have to be able to create a force of at least 495lbs to do so. You know what ESA was able to do in his latest music video Pound of Flesh? He broke a pair of handcuffs.
Okay, but not really. I’m sure it was just a prop. And if it wasn’t then I wanna know what he’s taking or what he’s hiding from the rest of the world. And now we can get onto the actual news. Pound of Flesh comes off of ESA’s most recent album Sounds for Your Happiness which released via Negative Gain Productions. Another masterful exercise in pounding industrial dance rhythms meant to ignite your local club, the video for the single was both filmed in Bangkok and features Tan Toafa Maneepasopchock (Gotham / Oceans 10) as well as additional native actors. You can stream it directly below.
The video is described as such: The story follows a troubled soul, tormented by inner demons, trapped within their own mental prison, happening upon a vehicle to allow astral projection from one body to another in a vain attempt to escape their own pain and anguish. From body to body, it soon becomes apparent that dwelling within a new host body is not the solution it might first appear to be. As time passes within the host, breakdowns begin to emerge and the demons that are tethered to the troubled now take up chase, culminating in a powerful and incredibly cinematic exorcism experience.
