On this day, August 18, it’s been three years since the release of the “Knives and Heights” video. Jesper Hanning not only delivered the vocals, but also directed the stunning video—deserving millions more views than it’s already received. https://youtu.be/zYOD9i3tOcI?si=SGZIXEpD3ATawIMf

The track appears on The Below’s current album “Immutable Behaviour” — streaming everywhere + limited coloured vinyl on Bandcamp: https://thebelow.bandcamp.com/album/immutable-behaviour

On the morning of August 6, 1945—eighty years ago today—an atomic bomb was detonated over Hiroshima.

The Below’s track “Hitobito (Only the Shadows)” reflects on the devastation of that day, when the blast etched the shadows of victims permanently into stone.

In some cultures, vampires are believed to be soulless creatures—blood-drinking monsters who cast no shadow. But isn’t it even more haunting when the shadow remains, and the human is gone?

The surreal and unsettling animated video was created by Daniele Arcuri. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/zQvykcnv1Ec?si=U99xL9_lJds3C062

“Hitobito (Only the Shadows)” appears on the album “Immutable Behaviour”, available on all major digital platforms and as a limited edition coloured vinyl LP on Bandcamp: https://thebelow.bandcamp.com/album/immutable-behaviour

A message from Bandcamp:
May 2: All revenue goes to artists & labels

Bandcamp Friday—support artists directly on May 2

Greetings,

Bandcamp Friday returns on May 2.

For 24 hours, we’re waiving our revenue share, meaning more of your money goes directly to the artists and labels you support.

Since launching Bandcamp Friday in 2020, fans have paid over $130 million directly to artists and labels through this initiative. That support has helped them pay rent, fund tours, press records, and even raise money for causes they care about.

It’s a simple idea with real impact: buy music and merch you love, and give artists a boost when they need it most.

Mark your calendar. Start building your wishlist. Bandcamp Friday is coming.
