Devastating metallic sludge innovators BLACK COBRA have
today released their new unique, sinister video for “Crimson Blade,” the first
official video to be released from their lauded 2011-released Invernal LP.
Conceived/constructed by the band themselves and director Greg Downing (of
bands Glitter
Wizard and Buffalo Tooth), BLACK COBRA’s “Crimson
Blade” filmed in three days for absolutely no money. The plot
portrays the concept of the song, following one man as he devolves to a
previous state of humanity and resorts to cannibalism in a post-apocalyptic
world. During the filming of the gory visual depiction, actor Landon Bates actually
ended up accidentally cutting himself multiple times, with actual wounds
fueling some of the bloody scenes.
Stated the members of BLACK COBRA: “The video’s
concept was a collaboration between director Greg Downing and ourselves. We
were familiar with his work in the bands Glitter Wizard and Buffalo Tooth and
he was enthusiastic about working with us as well. In general, it's about
isolation, paranoia and desperation. The utter darkness also gives it an
overall feel of confusion. We're really stoked on how it came together.”
