The accompanying video was once again created in collaboration with director Matt Sears, who directed its prequel, “ Abandon Us,” in the guise of a horror-inspired, two-part short film. This time around, the fate of the protagonist is irreversibly established in the heavy-hitting and thought-provoking video. Speaking on the process and continuing collaboration, Dawson enthuses, “Continuing the visual narrative with video director Matt Sears was an absolute joy, and thanks to his knowledge of horror and unique filmmaking skills, ‘Boltcutter’ delivers the perfect sequel to ‘Abandon Us.’ It’s another video with a visceral and confronting nature, and we feel it perfectly represents the song and its themes.” The release of “Boltcutter” coincides with the band nearing the end of their momentous tour across the UK and Europe, which saw their most extensive routing since pre-pandemic, selling more than 35,000 tickets, with multiple dates completely sold out, and also being able to preview the new single on each night of the tour. Dawson expands on this by stating, “Considering its weighty riffs and catchy dual vocal hooks, we also knew that ‘Boltcutter’ was going to be an undeniable addition to future setlists. And for those who have attended recent shows on our tour, they will have already had a sneak preview. We’ve loved being able to preview a single release like this with our fans, and it seems that it has already made an impact with team BT and we can’t wait for the rest of our wonderful community to hear it.” |
