This is easily my favourite song from their 2010 release 'Heliocentric', so was excited when I first saw that they'd uploaded a 'live video' for it. It's disappointing that the audio is the CD recording (plus a bit of Shamayim at the start), but I suppose it's a fairly cheap way of making a music video, even if it does mean that they're missing a great opportunity to do a ISIS-style video for the song.
Still, it's a stop-gap for those waiting for the live DVD (myself included) I keep hearing about.
I can't help but feel that the camera men were a little too excited by the guitarists (nice as it is watching a guy acting out furious masturbation via the medium of a guitar contributing to music you can't hear), or that they just had a vendetta against the vocalist, as Loic Rossetti barely gets a look-in. It's not a huge deal, I'm only really mentioning it because it's one of the only music videos I've seen where most of the attention wasn't on the vocalist (it's not like the song is mostly instrumental either).
Shame the crowd are doing their best to mimic rigor mortis, the contrast between the frenzy the guitarists shake their instruments around with against the stupor of the audience is almost comical. Ah well, the song itself is flawless, so just concentrate on that.
(Is it just me, or does one of the band members look like Bob Ross?)
