Director Oliver Sommer (AVA Studios) comments: ″The story tells itself with the first look on the artwork: it seems to be a film still and you only have to press the "play"-button!
So the female protagonist flees - reminiscences to different (post)apocalyptic films and stories are deliberated - from an army of robotic pumpkin soldiers through an empty world. On the other side, the band performs in frightfully beautiful, rocked out ambience. When the tough girl realizes, that she won't escape, she turns around and kills her chasers with a grenade which looks like the torch from the Statue of Liberty! it is immersed in snow on the cover artwork and in sand in the clip. Our post-apocalyptic world is a white desert, which exists in reality in Germany. The industrial disaster area, our hero is fleeing in and the band is performing in, is an incredible and giant area of the ex-steelworks (heavy metal!) Maxhütte - both locations are real wastelands!!″
