Norma Jean European / Russia Tour.
Watch: Official Video Premiere for “Bastardizer”
The official video for “Bastardizer,” the second single off Meridional, debuts today on Alternative Press. The video was directed by Brooks Jones and shot at our rehearsal space in Atlanta. Watch here:
From Cory: We had a lot of fun shooting this video. It’s really just us in our practice space, where we have written most of our records. No special effects, just us jamming. It’s one of our favorite songs from the new record, so it was a perfect choice for the next video.
