great work!
Love it! Made me think of those Tool music videos too, which is no bad thing.
Really nice. One of few awesome videos in djent music.
This video is outstanding! The credits got in my way a bit though. I was all warped into the atmosphere of the audio and visuals when the credits started. I guess this is probably because it would have been hard to make the video even longer? It really detracted from the overall experience for me though. So it would be cool if the next music video (will there be one?) doesn't have the credits while the track is still going (just like other music videos). If you feel there need to be credits maybe add them at the end, after the whole experience of the music has ended.
Great stuff anyway! I'm watching it again now.
EDIT: Ok, so I just read the YouTube description and it sounds like this wasn't primarily intended to be a music video. I think it was more of an art project. I think that makes the credits much more acceptable. Still I wish the video was longer BECAUSE IT'S SO FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!
Finally a music video that doesn't suck entirely. I'm so tired of the corny "core" bands in their teenage years being a bunch of tiny boppers. There's only a couple music videos that are invoking like this with symbolism like Rammstein's Amerika working with Eisenstein's intellectual montage technique. That or out of all people, Christina Aguilera, with her video Candyman going into gender studies haha. The nice thing being a filmmaker myself is I know how to do a lot of that. I've been really wanting to do something like this for a djent band in the Bay Area of California but haven't found any yet. I'd love to do something not cheesy but not over the top with film studies. Something everyone can get ^^ I think this one is pretty clear myself.
This is amazing, I'm keen to see your future videos.
Sounds Ominous!
very Freaky !! It looks like a Fuckin Tool Video !! Sweeeet !!!
That Hacride video was awesome. Yep, I'll try to make the next production much longer. need to find a good producer for support lol
Also reminds me a bit of Hacride's video for Perturbed. I feel like it's too short though... MOAR!!!
Look it up.
I'm so glad everyone's liking the video.
Meshuggah's music is perhaps my biggest influence. I grew up watching Tool on MTV, so their imagery is burned in my head. More stuff coming soon.
@tkajr7: My thoughts exactly. Definitely an influence on the creator of this video!
I agree, its sexy and yet disturbing at the same time.
The guy in the middle of the video, reminds me of the guy on Obzen
Sexy and creepy at the same time... The music is epic aswell... Definately reminds me of Tool videoclips!
reminds me of a tool video. sick song
Never heard of these guys. This sounds very interesting. Great to have such an awesome well thought video as an introduction of your band, definitely got to keep an eye on these guys.
I REALLY enjoyed that!
Amazing!
