What happens when a muscle car driving samurai takes on the two war criminals responsible for killing their family in an apocalyptic wasteland? If you said a sexy dance number with robot minions, gassed up topless Geisha, and blindfolded muscle mommies and daddies, then you win a fine fat fair-day goose! But I guess that’s really just the main story arc of this batshit crazy anthology style anime music video, in the style of gotham knight and the animatrix. Music written and performed by Sturgill Simpson, featuring directors and animators your weeb homies are sure to recognize, Sound and Fury is 40 minutes of visual ambrosia, the likes of which will have you headbanging down the fury road to Valhalla!
