In this week’s Feature Video, ‘Yxguden’, English producer @evianchrist goes full (axe) god mode with a little help from Swedish artist @dg_bladee
 
Taken straight from Evian Christ’s newest album Revanchist, ‘Yxguden’ is  a frenetic counterpoint to the album’s darker and more controlled tracks, featuring renowned rapper, producer and Drain Gang collective member Bladee. The track’s title translates from Swedish as “Axe God” and is a reference to a character depicted in a Bronze Age petroglyph at Flyhov in Sweden. 
 
This iconography becomes central to the imagery seen in the track’s accompanying video clip directed by early computer graphics pioneer and one-time Tiesto-collaborator @micha_klein Throughout the song’s duration, Micha choreographs a frenzied, metallic meeting between Bladee and a Nordic Bronze Age cave drawing of an axe-wielding Moundperson, bringing a whole assortment of eclectic characters along for the ride.
 
It’s the kind of video that mimics a mind trip at a country carnival, complete with peanut men, bikini babes, snowmen and kaleidoscopes all at once. Certainly not for the faint hearted, which is how it punched through to become this week’s feature
