I was approached by ATER to come up with a visual experience for their track "Descending" back in mid 2023. When I listened to it, with my eyes closed, I witnessed a continuum of souls being pulled down into a place of remoteness and hopeless submission to some kind of unrelenting force...

So it was natural that when Nocturnus AD was looking for a video producer for their song CephaloGod with the whole giant Cthulhoid squidmonster thing, Wizardhead would be a good fit.

In this video I was trying to rip off the skin of normal life and show a tingly writhing monstrous ever present intensity of existence and then capture that vibration in the safety and timeless permanence of a recovered faded film.

The song "River Pig" by Euclid is full of memorable grooves and also has a fantastic breakdown, both experiences lending themselves to a sonic hellscape that the band had requested I attempt to portray as a reddish "Caelid-esque" (this is an Elden Ring reference that I had to look up) environment.

Go full color, in homage to dayglo shock colors of the 1980s, to do my part to help resurrect any dormant spirits of the formative era of thrash (no cheating making everything black and white!)
