Kataklysm released their new album Meditations on June 1, but they've still got some more story to tell from the release. Kataklysm has teamed up with Romanian artist Costin Chioreanu for the animated music video for "…And Then I Saw Blood," which details an A.I. hellscape and two dying brothers whose minds get uploaded to the machines.
Here's what frontman Maurizio Iacono had to say about the song and video.
"'…And Then I Saw Blood' can be interpreted in many different ways as it has an open concept to it. Everyone can see it the way they want but we wanted an animated video done with an artistic flair. Costin was the perfect artist to do it. I told him the central theme of the track deals with the betrayal of two close friends. I asked him to bring in his own world on how he envisioned the song and theme. Costin totally out did himself in this futuristic but realistic interpretation of where we are headed as people continue to get absorbed by technology and this urge to create something bigger, stronger, and more intelligent in this obsession to become godlike."
Meditations was mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour) and mastered by Paul Logus (Pantera).
