Drawing ‘Blood For Mercy’
While Yellow Claw has made an impression on the dance music industry with their twerk-ready trap tunes, Blood For Mercy is a stark contrast to the group’s early efforts, “About six months ago we started working on our debut album, Blood for Mercy,” Yellow Claw tells Billboard. “We soon realized that it was the first time we actually made music that wasn’t meant to play in our set. With this new state of mind in the studio, a bunch of songs were created with a new sound, and new musical structures, which we have never used before. ‘Run Away’ is the first of those songs to see the light of day.”
In their new video for “We Made It,” Yellow Claw follow the life of Muay Thai kickboxing champion Yücel Fidan to showcase their fierce brand of exuberant trap beats. Shot in black and white, the short film portrays an impressive and emotional farewell fight, offering perspective into the passion and brotherhood of the sport. Though we have to wait a little while longer for the LP to drop, you can peep the music video to gear up for the raucous performance that is about to invade a city near you.
