Lightning Bolt: an ecology of imagens, noises and extremes sounds

The article is focused exclusively on the music video “Dracula Mountain”, by north American noise-rock band Lightning Bolt. The aim is, in fact, sufficiently restricted: to describe the video and call it in question, considering it as a counterpoint to the band sonority and musical performance. At the end, we state that the video is both a symptom and a product of a very particular and contemporary media ecology, in which musical and audiovisual products and genres, as well as musical and audiovisual consumption habits are rebuilt and (re)potentialized, sometimes inverted.
