Gorillaz will be premiering a short film alongside the release of their upcoming album, The Mountain.

The film is called The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God. Its accompanying trailer, now streaming on YouTube, features the cartoon Gorillaz members fighting their way through a jungle as they attempt to reach the titular mountain.

"A journey that should've been a dream soon became a nightmare," a creepy voice-over teases.

The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God will debut on Feb. 27, the same day the album The Mountain drops.

Gorillaz will be performing The Mountain in full during two shows in Los Angeles taking place Sunday and Monday. You can also catch them performing on Saturday Night Live March 7.
