Nothing share new video "Eaten By Worms"

With the release of their second album looming ever closer, Nothing have shared the music video for new track "Eaten By Worms".

Not for the squeamish, the video sees frontman Dominic Palermo lying in a pool of his own blood - a situation not unlike the one that left him seriously injured in hospital.

"The song is very much about being in pain and dancing with the feverish curiosity of whether this life is any more significant then what comes after or what came before," Dominic explains. "It's very much about letting go. Kevin (Haus, co-director) and I began to develop a story around these concepts," he tells Rolling Stone. "Kevin was interested in writing something about how we’re all connected by the tragic in life and our inherent need to make sense of it all."

"We talked about an incident I had in Oakland and common experiences of being in the hospital on demerol, morphine, anesthesias, anxiety meds and a host of other painkillers," he continues. "I was basically taking the same medication cocktail that killed Michael Jackson. We immediately latched on to MJ’s mythological, Hermes-like being and his obsession with lost youth and Peter Pan, as well as the tragedy of his own life. Our take was that from tragedy arises this simple innocent that’s led into the unknown.”

Tired Of Tomorrow is released 13 May via Relapse Records.
