Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the exclusive premiere of a new music video by North Carolina's Valient Thorr.
The track, "Torn Apart," is from the band's new album, Our Own Masters, which will be released June 18 via Volcom Entertainment.
Our Own Masters, which was recorded at Ronnie Jone Sound Studios in Athens, Georgia, and produced, engineered and mixed by Kyle Spence of Harvey Milk, shines a bright light on Valient Thorr's unique and heavy sound, delivering 12 slices of balls-to-the-wall rock that yearns to be played loud.
The Our Own Masters album cover, which you can see in the photo gallery at the bottom of this story, is from a 1975 painting by John Aylward, father of Valient Thorr drummer Jason Aylward. You can check out the album's complete track listing below. Our Own Masters is available for pre-order right here.
Valient Thorr average between 200 and 250 live shows a year, and they've criss-crossed the globe as guests of Mastodon, Motörhead and Misfits. Check out their current summer US tour dates directly below the video.
