Nu-Core is the genre on the tip of everyone’s tongue right now, and Pennsylvanian outfit Tallah are leading the charge. Fronted by Justin Bonitz, whose versatile and unhinged vocal stylings have attracted the attention of the masses, and backed by second generation drummer Max Portnoy, the two musicians have combined their musical and artistic influences to create a 13 track nu-metal-meets-hardcore opus that is set to win the title of ‘Metal Album of the Year’.

Following the successful album release which saw worldwide press praise the record’s fresh take on the genre, the band have spat out another unhinged and frenetic video yet again directed by Max Portnoy for the opening track on the album ‘No One Should Read This’.

Max Portnoy says this about the video
“No One Should Read This is probably my favourite track off the album. It’s one of the heaviest and most relentless Tallah songs, and I wanted to captivate that same energy visually with this video. The imagery is very dark, creepy, and chaotic and was a ton of fun to put together and shoot DIY style. The end result is one of my favourite videos I’ve put together”. 

Thematically, Justin has revealed over the course of a series of concept videos that Tallah’s album is about psychological and physical abuse, self-mutilation, cannibalism and imprisonment in one’s self.

 “Matriphagy is a concept album about how an overprotective mother pushes her son to the edge of insanity through psychological and physical abuse. Having spent two decades trapped inside a glorified prison, and after some failed rescue/escape attempts, the son, in a state of heavy delirium, does the unforgivable to free himself from his mother’s wicked hold.”

The album is OUT NOW via Earache Records and can be purchased from the Earache Records store, and streamed on all DSP’s.
