House of Protection have announced their debut EP ‘GALORE’, set for release on 13th September via Red Bull Records.
The new project, featuring Aric Improta on drums and Stephen Harrison on guitar, have also shared their single ‘Pulling Teeth’ along with an accompanying video.
The video for ‘Pulling Teeth’ was filmed in Ahmedabad, India, inside the notorious “Well of Death”. The band performed at the bottom of a wooden pit while stunt drivers rode motorcycles vertically around the walls above them.
Describing the making of the video, the band explain: “The first day we met the full Red Bull Records team, we asked if they would be down to fly us to India to perform in a “Well of Death” – an idea we’d been sitting on for years. To our surprise, they were immediately on board, so we knew we just needed the right song. After two sessions of writing with Jordan, we finished “Pulling Teeth” and felt it was the perfect track to score the concept. I think we always perform best when the environment is a bit chaotic, so we were excited to see what would happen.”
They continue: “After 30 hours of travel, including cancelled flights, flooding in our connecting airport (Dubai), a cancelled location (due to a political rally), and an additional 16 hours of driving round-trip through the desert to the backup location… we finally found ourselves in the Well of Death. We did nine takes with a live audience, all while our director was throwing up between shots and one of the motorcycles died in the middle of the performance. That said, we came out with something better than we ever could have expected and had an incredible team on the ground that made it all possible.”
The six-track ‘GALORE’ EP was produced by Jordan Fish, known for his work with Bring Me The Horizon. It follows the release of previous singles ‘It’s Supposed To Hurt’ and ‘Being One’.
