Die Antwood Release Video For Their New Single "Banana Brain": Watch.

South African rap rave trio Die Antwood have released a new single with accompanying video. "Banana Brain" is taken from the group's upcoming album.

Their new album "Mount Ninji And Da Nice Time Kid" will be released later this year. However, yesterday they blessed the whole world with a completely ridiculous new music video, in which Yolandi can be seen to murder her parents by forcing them to overdose before the music even starts. Ninja dons prosthetic legs later in the video, clearly referencing Paralympic gold medalist and convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius as at around the five minute mark he appears to prepare to shoot Yolandi through a bathroom door.


If you're familiar with the group, none of this will be even a little bit surprising. And despite all the ridiculousness and stupidity Die Antwood have delivered yet another audio/visual treat, something that they've become known for worldwide.

The music is everything we've come to expect from them; ridiculously loud thudding bass, harsh synths, almost incomprehensible high pitched vocals and humorous yet incredibly vulgar rap verses.

The group played Reading and Leeds festivals this past bank holiday weekend and were surely a highlight for everyone who went to see them, including me. However, the BBC didn't deem their performance appropriate and have not included it in their iPlayer online library of performances from the festival. This is hardly surprising as the visuals during their performance showed women being eaten by their own vaginas and babies with humongous genitalia. They were also included in my "Who To See At This Year's Reading and Leeds Festival" article, which you can read here if you'd like.

You can check out the new video here.
