Watch the Black Lips' Obviously Insane Video for "Boys In The Wood" (NSFW)

Co-directed by the infamous ATL Twins and Matt Swinsky.

Last month, Black Lips announced that their first full length album in three years—Underneath the Rainbow—will be released on March 18 via Vice Records. And then they released their new single, "Boys in the Wood." And finally, they announced they're going on a spring tour! (More on that later) Besides being pretty fucking busy, Black Lips are premiering the video for their single, "Boys in the Wood" today, directed by Matt Swinsky and co-directed by the ATL Twins (Yes, those twins) in 4K, which essentially means if you have a 4K TV you are going to have the best viewing experience of your entire life with this video. It's also extremely NSFW, also NSFA (Appetite).

This video is truly not for the faint of heart; there's plenty of blood, drugs, masks, and sex. Honestly, what do you expect from a song with a chorus like "When the boys start to drinking / You know it ain't no good / Ain't gonna live for tomorrow / You know you never should." So, if blood and sex and gore is your thing, which it probably is, you'll enjoy "Boys In The Wood" starring the ATL Twins, Curtis Snow, Dr. Dax, Mike Cantrell, Ghetto Josh, Patrick Barger, Adam and Andrew Gates, Dale Ross, Baby E, Blo, and Jill Cosby.
