YHWH Nailgun have released a new video for their album title-track Magazine which dropped earlier this month via 4AD. “Magazine” was directed, produced & edited by Lane Stewart, he says “we made this almost entirely in the heat of the night, in the place I’m from, the wider stretch of country my family comes out of and the ground I was born into. The songs already had that otherworldly quality in them, and the lights in the darkness helped reveal some sense of mystery out of one of the most ordinary places deep in America.”

What began in 2020 as the raw collision between vocalist Zack Borzone and drummer Sam Pickard has since evolved into a full four-piece alongside guitarist/producer Saguiv Rosenstock and synth player Jack Tobias. Their new album ‘Magazine’ further sharpens the band’s uncompromising vision.

Across 10 tracks that unfold in just 11 minutes, ‘Magazine’ pushes YHWH Nailgun’s sound into even more skeletal and immediate territory. Opening with the slow fade-in of “Ghost of Love,” the record feels less like a conventional album than a fragment pulled from an endless transmission. The band balances chaos with precision: frantic guitars, bruising percussion, air-raid synths, and Borzone’s now-unmasked vocals, delivered with a newfound clarity that brings his surreal, religiously charged imagery into sharper focus.

YHWH Nailgun’s 2025 debut 45 Pounds introduced the band’s feral intensity, Magazine strips away abstraction in favor of something even more direct. Pickard’s drums are leaner, Rosenstock’s production more exposed, and Borzone’s lyrics—filled with visions of blood, serpents, God, and the Devil—take center stage. Despite the extremity of their sound, the band approaches their music with instinct over self-consciousness, building what they describe as an autonomous creative world unconcerned with trends or reactionary impulses.
