After countless setbacks due to lockdowns and scheduling issues, South African’s Acid Magus finally got around to shooting a music video for the second single off their debut album, Wyrd Syster.
“Red Dawn” closes out the Pretoria foursome’s debut effort and as with the rest of the album, is a metaphorical study of feminism. The band therefore opted to wear “dresses” for the video, tailored for the video by Nina Badenhorst.
The shoot took place over a weekend in October 2021 in an abandoned shooting range underneath guitarist Keenan’s in-laws’ house in Waterkloof Ridge, Pretoria. Heleen and Susan at Tiger & Lilly Productions conceptualized a red-lit live performance vibe and the rest, as they say, is history…
Acid Magus debut album has received from some legendary reviews…
“Fuzzy psychedelic grooves from the mountains of Pretoria” – Metal Hammer
“Acid Magus deliver a debut album that’s bonafide AOTY material.” – Doom Charts
“Overall, Wyrd Syster is another album of the year contender and possibly one of the best debut records you’ll hear in 2021.” – Outlaws Of The Sun
“packs a heavy, unavoidable punch, both lyrically and musically” – Texx And The City
“cracking with both light and darkness, melody and cacophony and worthy of multiple spins” – The Sleeping Shaman
