Hellbent release three videos for songs on their 11-minute album, spent only $3.78

Hellbent

Canadian hardcore band Hellbent has released a three-track video for their songs "Save The Bees," "Benchman," and "Slow Songs." Despite the fact that their entire album is only 11 minutes long, the band didn't write longer songs or spend a ton of money on production. Instead, they spent a whopping $3.78 - the amount Spotify pays them annually - to make the three videos.

The videos feature the band donning bee costumes on a busy street, performing on a bench, and causing chaos with umbrellas and hammers. You can watch the video below.

The band commented:

"When your whole record is only 11 minutes long and you want to make a music video, what do you do?  Write longer songs?  Spend money on production for a 17 second song?  We did neither.  In fact, we spent the exact amount that Spotify pays us per year - $3.78."

"First we dressed up like bees because we have a song about bees and messed up traffic on a busy street, and then we forgot that we did that and made a rap rock looking thing on a bench.  Two blunts later, we still had a camera and got excited and shot a super chaotic video for Slow Songs with an umbrella and a hammer.  

So 3 videos later, we mashed it all together and called it dinner. Enjoy!"

Canadian men really are some of the f*cking ugliest, weak chinned, soy faced losers on the planet. They all look like variations of the Cancer Bats singer crossed with Gavin Mcinnes and hobbits. Must be the Scottish blood. No wonder their women dominate them and demand more and more r@pe from Indians and Pakistanis.
