heheh, you are the only one that watched it, i guess!
 
i don't know, i thought it was very...... halloweeny.
LOL
 
 
that picture of the towns folks being eaten, and the baby getting carried off, is probably one of the earliest images i remember as a kid, seeing it, and thinking 'whoa'.
 
it is a medieval Woodcut of a werewolf attack, by Lucas Cranach the Elder, 1512,
i remember it from history class, back around 5th grade i guess.
 
all the werewolf folklore goes way back.....
 
 

I totally loved it!  The music backed up the video perfectly, or vice versa.  The subtlety of the dark werewolf scenes ending with the full moon behind the cross on the church was just fantastic.  It wasn't any more disturbing or devilish to me than watching congress at work!  Great job, Rob!!

John, I wasn't addressing any criticism towards anybody.  Sorry if it came off that way.  So you'll know, I am a christian and have been my whole life.  I just don't take some things too seriously, such as movies, songs, etc..  I have faith songs, but try not to use the usual cliches, etc., etc.  (Into the Son and Reflections on our Soundclick page)  It is good that you have a strong faith and I respect it because I have the same faith.  Talk to you later, buddy!

alright, some more folks checkin' it out!
that's cool, it's almost ghost, goblin and werewolf time

warren
glad you dig it!
it's just found images, that seem to match the flow of the story...
and yea, congress at work (sic) is the most seriously disturbing thing i can think of in these times.
makes werewolves look like puppies.

faith?
what's that got to do with old fashioned halloween werewolf stuff?
don't ever let faith get in the way of a good time!!
heheh
seriously, tho, i'm not trying to offend anyone, it's just that i don't see it as a big deal, it's just for fun.


warren:
i think it's mostly christians that go to the werewolf movies.



bob

I do like the song quite a lot.  And most of the video is great.  Just those couple of "real" looking photo shots were a little shocking to me.  No biggee. :)

hehe, yea, some of the 'found visuals' were a bit stark.
 
fans of 'american werewolf in london' will recognize the head biting shot...
but it's just all for fun.
 
i mean,
it was really fun to track this tune...

i've got like 40 tracks...
and just went everywhere with it..


i've got 6 and 7 tracks of nothing but feedback going in certain places....
amp was just vibrating, and singing, and doing it's own thing.

all i had to do, was be there, and capture it.

the screams with the guitars, the slashing of the werewolf, all visuals i tried to realize directly thru the guitar.



when you have a story that is so strong, the visuals are in the brain so accutely, it's really easy to tap into that as a source of inspiration, and if you know your rig as well as i know my rig, it's dirt easy to get it to talk..
to annunciate..

to animate the ideas flowing thru the synapses, directly into the strings from the fingers....

even the acoustic treatments, were meant to feel a bit menacing....

a decision to drag a pick across the strings from the top to the bottom, versus the other way...
every stroke of it was conceived in advance, trying to evoke a feeling that would transcribe into a wonderfully wicked feeling vibe.


i mean, it's a phukin' werewolf song.
 
 

heheh

 Nice song Bat. That's an understatement. Man I wish I could play guitar like that.
