Devilment, featuring Cradle Of Filth frontman Dani Filth, has a new music video for its song "Sanity Hits A (Perfect) Zero" and it's pretty strange. It has this very steampunk gothic circus feeling to it, but at the very least if you're not into that you'll dig the video!
Here's what Filth has to say about the vide, directed by Lizzy Ellam.
“It was enormous fun filming the video for ‘Sanity Hits A (Perfect) Zero‘ as it was decided that it would appear very chaotic, retro and dirty from an early stage, as if the discovered film stock had slightly perished with age, bringing with it a psychedelically lurid post-apocalyptic vision.
The whole experience was undertaken close to home in Suffolk at a countryside scrapyard, with friends and performers being assembled, dressed, watered and fed by the extended Devilment family, with a crew ‘borrowed’ from the local university.
In essence it was very much an underground guerrilla effort, the spirit of which we intended to capture on a day which fortunately fell between two bouts of horrible stormy weather, thus enabling the use of flame on what was essentially a fuel-soaked death trap waiting to ignite.
Still, all’s Hell that ends well, and we think the finished video (perfectly) compliments the madness and feral metallic adrenaline of the track heaved under the spotlight.”
