The video lives somewhere between horror and concept. The goal was to create something strange and disturbing, yet grounded in themes that would resonate with the band and with the viewers. Just like the society we live in, it’s all coming from within, so we've captured people trapped within their own experiences shown through emotionless monotony. With the additional effects of extreme slow motion and footage played in reverse, we backtrack and attempt to undo our lancinating painful truth. I generally like to leave it to the audience to decide what they see. I think it is crucial not to be too dictatorial and let ourselves be guided by our trio of heroes.
