WATCH “MOTHER OPIATE” HERE

Today This Will Destroy You unveil their video “Mother Opiate” off of their most recent album, Another Language with Vice’s The Creators Project. Director Calvin Sprague explains “A
This Will Destroy You song isn’t just music. It conjures up images,
invokes feelings and changes your perception. When I heard "Mother
Opiate” for the first time, I was transfixed. The song’s roaring
feedback and calming brushstrokes made me feel like I was slowly fading
into a vast abyss. That was just me, though. While anyone will certainly
be affected by the music, the story the video tells is actually
subjective. And that’s exactly what the purpose of this video is: it
allows the viewer to just sit back while the music takes him to a world
beyond space and time.“

"the atmosphere that This Will Destroy You create is like doom
classical. The tone throughout, which they maintain elegantly across
tracks, matches the color of the cover art: each song seems like an
echo, with moments from the earlier songs repeated and fleshed out, or
revisited as a whisper. Sometimes the band come across as a burlier
Sigur Rós, and when they get heavy, it makes the room vibrate.” – Pitchfork

“They’re masters of using dynamics to heart-rending effect” 4/5 – Guitarist

“Established TWDY as true post rock heavyweights” 4/5 – Total Guitar

“This Will Destroy You make instrumental rock as beautiful as it is crushingly heavy…”
