The Dutch punk rock band Ink Bomb releases a new music video: Frankenstein. The song is dark and loud, mixing skatepunk with elements of indie, grunge and hardcore. Halfway through, the song changes from an unexpected twist to a rousing resolution. Frankenstein is the third single from the new album that will be released later this year. The lyrics tell the story of two doubtful lovers. “I did that in the metaphor of a thriller, containing a crime scene and a murder victim,” singer Joost explains.
