Japanese metal band Boris and NYC industrial metal band Uniform have unveiled the next single from their collaborative album Bright New Disease today.

“Not Surprised” arrives with a music video directed by A.F. Cortes, who is best known for their work with Zola Jesus, Street Sects, and Metz. The director said this about the visual, which can be seen below:

“I wanted (and had to) approach this piece from a visceral and experimental perspective. After listening to the song, I created a dark and surreal film reflecting the track's themes and mood, leaving my comfort zone and turning some of my processes upside down– literally. The overarching theme of the piece is a cycle of violence; this is my interpretation of the music, not necessarily the authors'. We live in a never-ending cycle of violence; humans are as good at creating as destroying. In the video, the hunted becomes the hunter and then is hunted again. But who wins?”

Uniform vocalist Michael Berdan said this about the tune:

"I've struggled with mental health issues for my entire life. Although years of hard work, medication, and a support network help immensely at keeping the internal violence of my mind at bay, some days will always be a little worse than others. This song is about the inherent loneliness of those bad days. The level of antipathy I feel towards the entire human race as I'm forced to function around regular people who seem to be just enjoying their life goes beyond words, but I tried to say it here anyway."

Bright New Disease will be released on June 16 via Sacred Bones Records. Pre-orders for Bright New Disease can be made here. Special merch can be purchased from Holy Mountain (North America) and Evil Greed (EUR).
