German band MAVIS, featuring vocalist Phil Donay, guitarist Manu Weller, bass player Mo Amrein, and drummer Jakob Schulz-Klein, dropped the video for new single "Furry Tongue," out now via Arising Empire.

Watch it below.

This latest masterpiece is a harmonious chaos, elegantly flitting between time signatures while maintaining a fluid, danceable rhythm.

"The complexity of 'Furry Tongue' didn't compromise its groove," says singer Phil Donay. "Achieving a song you can dance to was a pinnacle for us."

The song dances on the edge of intuition and overanalysis, exploring the tenuous balance that exists between the two and the exploitation that can arise from either extreme. Donay equates this delicate balancing act to the uncomfortable yet familiar sensation of a furry tongue.

Earlier this year, the band debuted its first single "Tortured Land." Watch the video here.

If "Tortured Land" was an introduction to Mavis' dynamism, "Furry Tongue" solidifies their position as forerunners in innovative metalcore.
The visual component, a collaboration with Danny Jakov (deadapefilms) oscillates between cerebral choreography and instinctive movement.
