Description: From the roster of the renowned underground imprint, The Flenser, Agriculture, a Los Angeles-based band, continues to showcase their distinctive interpretation of black metal. Their self-titled album is set to release on July 21st, 2023. A section from the album's imposing 8-minute-long opening track, The Glory of the Ocean, has emerged alongside a visually striking black-and-white music video. Agriculture comments: "We wanted the visuals for this record generally, and for this music video specifically, to reference both the playful and the sublime. There's something wonderful and a bit strange about the image of a child doing normal beach things at night. It's spooky and joyful at the same time. The kid in the video, Dimitri, just absolutely crushed it. He seems to sort of embody a lot of the ideas within the music with how much fun he's having smashing shit on the beach." Agriculture new music serves as a manifestation of the band's ability to utilize their extreme sound as a means of shedding light on the most pivotal moments that define human existence.
