It’s barely two months since the UK metallers War Grave released their full length debut album, the steel clad Free Will and already the album has soared past 10,000 streams on Spotify. As a celebration the band have decided to release a new video for standout album track, ‘Light ‘Em Up‘ – an atmospheric, moody and magnificent tale of the old West.
Speaking about the track and its accompanying video the band commented:
“‘Light ‘Em Up’ follows the doomed ride of a Wild West bandit and his crew, lured into one final score, a train heist promised to set them up for life. Guns drawn and masks on, they take the gold and run. For a moment, it feels like they’ve won. But the dust never settles for long. The sheriff is close behind, and one by one, they’re hunted down and killed. The promise of wealth turns hollow as the cost becomes clear. ‘Light ‘Em Up’ is a tale of greed, betrayal, and the fleeting nature of glory. A bloodstained question hangs in the air: was it ever worth it, just for gold? As for the video itself, that was inspired by Steve’s love of cartoon The Lone Ranger as a child and his grandad’s love of a good old western film. The idea was to create an interactive way of not only telling, but showing the story of this epic tune.”
