Concurrently with the moral decay of the ever-growing alien world concept of their upcoming album, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment (out September 5 via Earache Records), Tallah have carved out space for some pure, unapologetic fun with the music video for their new single, "as fate undoes". The new clip from the Pennsylvania nu-core unit sees them channeling classic monster movies and 1970s television into their most deliberately playful visual treatment yet. Complete with custom puppets and epic monster battles, the new video exhibits the kind of B-movie charm that would make Vincent Price proud.

Drawing inspiration from classic creature features and 1970s television shows, the new video transforms Tallah's alien world concept into something part horror homage, part Saturday morning fever dream. While the band's previous videos captured their feral live energy and conceptual darkness, "as fate undoes" reveals a different, cosmic horror side of their creative DNA.

Bassist Max Portnoy, who directed the video, shares:

"As fate undoes is heavily inspired by old monster movies and 1970s TV shows like Land Of The Lost. We haven't done a tongue in cheek, humorous video before, but always joked about it, and decided to send it for this single, since it felt right for this song. After making the video, it was probably the most fun we've had at a video shoot. And now we have puppets of ourselves, so that's cool."

Speaking about the track itself, Max continues:

"The live strings we recorded for this record are on display prominently with this track. The song was mainly written around this violin melody I wrote one night. Once that idea was cemented, it turned into what I feel is a hit song. It's got one of the most replayable choruses that makes you want to bounce. It's fun. It's dark. It's very much 'Tallah' at our core, all wrapped into 3 minutes."

The track itself maintains the raw, unedited approach that defines Primeval: Obsession // Detachment. The album was recorded live in Michigan with producer Josh Schroeder using no clicks, no edits, and no safety nets. Like its three predecessors “What we know”, “A primeval detachment” and “augmented," "as fate undoes" also ties directly into the album’s layered sci-fi narrative. The concept follows two characters, Ana and Sheelah, on a morally destructive journey across an alien world.

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment arrives September 5 via Earache Records. The album stands as Tallah's most ambitious and uncompromising work to date. Weaving sci-fi storytelling together with deliberately imperfect performances, Tallah prove that human instinct still has power in an increasingly artificial landscape.
