Today,Alternative Pressis hosting the world premiere of the "Before The Flames" video -watch it here.
Both videos are directed byBrian Cox of Flarelight Films and depict an orphanage housing children being abused by possessed caretaker nuns. When the nuns try to hide the abuse, their plan backfires tragically and everyone meets their demise. "Before The Flames" conceptualizes how the evil corruption came to be, before the tragic flames were set.
"This portion of the story is told from one child's point of view - the little girl writing the letter to her parents begging them to come save her,"states vocalist Connor Garritty."The idea for the story was something I came up with and immediately wanted to convey visually in addition to musically. The director Brian and I worked pretty closely together on the concept and treatment. From the initial idea I knew that I wanted it to be something that would make people feel uncomfortable but not be too gory. It's more of a "suggested" horror, to think of what these nuns are doing to these little children."
Screams From A Black Wildernessis produced by Matt Hyde, known for his prior work with renowned groups such asDeftones,Slayer, andSoulfly, and features a guest vocal appearance from Brock Lindow of36 Crazyfists.
