THE INTERBEING: Releases New Music Video
•
May 30, 2012
A lot has happened since the Copenhagen Industrial Metal band THE INTERBEING released their debut album "Edge of the Obscure" in May 2011 which was praised by both foreign and domestic critics. Most noticeably the band was handpicked by Metal Hammer to perform at one of the largest music festivals in the United States SXSW in March month 2012. Since then the band has toured around Denmark with the well entitled "Tour Of The Obscure".
In collaboration with the debut music video director Alexander Hørup THE INTERBEING has now completed a visual treat of a music video for the track 'Shadow Drift'. Alexander has spent years working closely with the Danish music video director Casper Balslev on videos for The Floor is Made of Lava, Duné and Marina & The Diamonds amongst others. The team behind the video also includes one of Denmark's the best music video editors Jens Høll who has edited videos for some of the biggest Danish bands, including Kashmir, L.O.C and Carpark North to name a few.
Lead singer Dara Toibin comments on the video and the collaboration:
"We chose the song Shadow Drift because it shows a slightly different side of the band compared with the rest of our album. The atmosphere is more melancholic and the lyrics are based on a surreal world, where the one's shadow is a separate individual who the main character tries to merge with. In the video the black liquid symbolizes the persons' shadows, and during the video the liquid covers each personality more and more. The little boy with the rabbit mask is partly inspired by the psychological thriller "Donnie Darko" from 2001 and he represents the characters' "alternative self". His role is very essential for the development of the video.
We all think the whole process has been awesome and fascinating. From the very beginning we were on the same level with Alexander. It was a very ambitious project which succeeded to a full extent, and we are extremely happy with the result."
