Swedish heavy rock quintet Electric Hydra have just revealed a brand-new video for “It’s All Just Dirt,” the second single taken from their forthcoming album From the Fallen. Darker, heavier, and more introspective than what fans may expect, the track dives headfirst into Electric Hydra’s heavier side, both musically and emotionally.
Written and recorded shortly after the release of the band’s self-titled 2020 debut, “It’s All Just Dirt” began life in the ominous key of B. Practical limitations and a desire to preserve maximum live impact ultimately demanded a decisive shift.
“B is a LOW key for my range, so we decided to do it in drop D instead. This made things a lot easier for me… and we’ll avoid tuning our instruments four different ways live,” says vocalist Sanne Karlsson. “We’re really pleased with how it turned out.”
Lyrically and sonically, the song explores alienation, inner struggle, and disconnection, the sensation of being trapped in a parallel universe with no clear escape. As the lyrics put it: “Walking on an endless trail, lost inside your mind.”
The accompanying video was filmed inside an abandoned sewing factory in the unlikely metropolis of Sexdrega, shot and directed by the band’s own Dennis Åhman (drums). Originally intended to feature a different song, the video concept was reworked on the fly due to illness, resulting in a fragmented, green-screen-driven visual that mirrors the song’s themes of isolation and dislocation.
“Honestly, this time we just wanted to get shit done,” explains bassist Ellinor Andersson. “After working on this release for so long, we didn’t want to cancel the shoot. So we adapted—and here we are.”

After several years of relative silence, the band rise once more with renewed force and a new full-length album, From the Fallen. Spanning 11 tracks, the record stands as a declaration of resilience and evolution, capturing a band reborn through adversity and personal struggle, emerging heavier, sharper, and more focused than at any point in their history.
Electric Hydra have long been known as a ferocious live act, delivering high-voltage heavy rock fueled by chunky guitar riffs, explosive energy, catchy vocal hooks, and a deep love of retro hard rock spirit. Over the years, they’ve torn up both intimate clubs and major festival stages across Europe, including Sweden Rock Festival, Fuzzfestival, Malmöfestivalen, and SWR Barroselas Metalfest in Portugal.
Their self-titled debut album Electric Hydra landed in 2020 via Majestic Mountain Records / Tee Pee Records, earning strong praise from fans and critics alike. A standalone single, “Eyes of Time,” followed, and while the band suffered some lineup changes and the long shadow of the pandemic, the fire never went out.
With the addition of guitarists Emil Andersson and Adi Selimic, Electric Hydra return reinvigorated as a powerful five-piece lineup: Sanne Karlsson (vocals), Ellinor Andersson (bass), Emil Andersson (guitar/vocals), Adi Selimic (guitar), and Dennis Åhman (drums).
From the Fallen broadens the band’s sonic reach while staying true to its roots. Fast, punk-fueled aggression collides with heavier, slower passages and broader atmospheric moments, giving the album both momentum and depth.
