After the release of the video for “Mockstar”- the first track published by the Sardinian band – AJO have just released their second single, accompanied by a music video.
The band anticipates that in the new single they aimed to bring together the visual representation of metal music with an unusual location for a video of this musical genre. This represents the same dualism that is the pivot on which the entire concept of the band revolves: the fusion of two contrasting elements.
The first one is the band’s image, incorporating the use of typical Sardinian masks; the second is their music, reminiscent of what American metal music was between the ’90s and the early 2000s.
Beyond the fusion of these two elements, the band has hinted at incorporating disparate sonic elements, including sounds strongly linked to Sardinian traditions already present in the first single, introducing the Mamuthones’ bells (a traditional Sardinian mask with heavy, noisy bells worn on the back) within their song.
They also announce that forthcoming tracks will feature other characteristic elements, such as the launeddas (a typical Sardinian wind instrument composed of three pipes).
AJO announces that the new video is musically softer compared to what was presented in “Mockstar”. It features a melodious chorus and a drum section that nods towards rock music, all complemented by heavy guitars and the alternation between distorted and clean vocals. All that’s left is to await the release of the track to give it a listen, support the band in their growth, and help spread the word about their music.
