Watch New Skeletal Faces’ goth AF video for “Leather Funeral”

Late in 2019, San Diego’s heavy deathrock troupe New Skeletal Faces released their debut album, Celestial Disease. And now, the group has unveiled a new video for album standout “Leather Funeral.” Filmed and edited by photographer Chad Kelco—whose work has frequently been showcased here at Treble—the clip, indeed, features a lot of leather. Shot with a “skeleton” crew (ha!) at San Diego’s Space Bar and Fiesta Island, it’s a grim, goth AF showcase of creepy atmosphere, skulls, candelabras, occult imagery and more than a little rock ‘n’ roll attitude to go around. Not to mention the fact that the song is a dark, majestic anthem in the vein of early Sisters of Mercy, Christian Death and recent goth-metal outfits like Idle Hands. Just because Halloween’s over doesn’t mean we can’t still revel in the darkness.
