by Death Valley High has released a wicked zombie-themed video for their new single, “Warm Bodies.” Directed by Brian Cox, the video is more of a psychedelic acid trip through zombie land short film than a simple music video. Full of neon colors, gore, violence, and nudity, the video is probably NSFW for most people… so check it out on some medium that won’t get you fired.
As vocalist/guitarist Reyka Osburn told Alternative Press at the time of the track’s original premiere:
It could be said that ‘Warm Bodies’ expresses a ‘people need people’ sentiment, but that’s only at its core. The song does start with this universal hunt for vitality, but it in the end, it lures itself into a deep, carnal feeding frenzy for life.
Osburn also stated:
We wanted the video for ‘Warm Bodies’ to have some unexpected turns so that the viewer would have their expectations abruptly altered while watching. We sought to make sure some of the video was filmed in black and white so that the mind-altering state of our lead characters would translate to the viewer once it changed to color – like watching a campy old horror film that turns into an ‘80s action film. We intentionally chose to not include band performance footage or images so we could really get the story concept across, although, if you keep a keen eye during the mini movie, you might catch a glimpse of our scary faces.
Pre-orders for CVLT [AS FVK] are now available via Amazon and iTunes, the latter of which includes both “Warm Bodies” and “Groei Donker (Grow Dark)” as instant grat tracks with your pre-order. You can also stream “Warm Bodies” now via Spotify.
