“Black Avalanche” Video still // Director: Victor Bucur, Editor: Collin Young
August 6, 2025 (Toronto, ON) // ONE HUNDRED MOONS has dropped the official video for their haunting new single, “Black Avalanche,” inviting viewers into an immersive visual journey. The video, which premiered today on Modern Mystery, is the perfect visual companion to the song, capturing its raw intensity and haunting atmosphere. Filmed in an open field, the imagery distorts and shifts like liquid light, pulling you into a world where nothing stays still. The band performs amidst this kaleidoscopic landscape, the colours and textures blending, dissolving, and reassembling like something pulled straight from the edge of a dream.
As the day fades and night falls, smoke billows through the scene, wrapping everything in a haunting, ethereal layer. The restless energy of the visuals mirrors the song’s tension, each shot charged with a sense of urgency and mystery. It’s the kind of mystical and mesmerizing experience you can’t look away from, much like the band’s music itself. The influences of My Bloody Valentine’s sonic weight, Slowdive’s dreamlike atmospherics, and Radiohead’s haunting emotional depth all bleed through, both in the track and in the video’s otherworldly visuals.
The video breathes life into the track’s soul, pulling viewers into a world where reality shifts and flows, forever in motion. “Black Avalanche” serves as the first glimpse into the ONE HUNDRED MOONS’ upcoming album of the same name, setting the stage for a darker, more atmospheric journey into uncharted territory.
