Among the many things I enjoy and respect about Behemoth, I absolutely love how seriously they take the music video process. When most bands simply throw some lights in warehouse and call it a day, Behemoth clearly take a lot of pride in their videos. Their video for "Ov Fire and the Void" was crowned our 2009 video of the year, with their last video for Alas The Lord is Upon Me also making out 2010 list. Now, the band has wrapped shooting a video for the track "Lucifer" and from the looks of these behind the scenes photos, it looks like it's going to be another awesome one. Here is what Nergal and the video director had to say about the video:
Behemoth front man, Nergal, comments: "We have teamed up with Grupa 13 again to shoot this amazing video…I must honestly say it was very refreshing cooperation. Darek is probably one of the most creative people I’ve met in this business and I love working with him. Every time we force ourselves to come up with even crazier ideas…This time we really made it very artistic and… still VERY disturbing. There's plenty of metaphors and symbolism in this video…the story is even more diverse, fucked up and out of control. I’m still digesting it… the video is being edited as we write these words…Stay tuned!"
Grupa 13's Dariusz Szermanowicz adds, "'Lucifer' is a song that completes the visual concept of the “Evangelion" album. The evolution of the script was long and stormy, but in the end it surprised us with lots of last minute changes and new energy in the ideas! This time we've shot it in a studio environment, with minimum set design. We've prepared over a dozen episodes and strong scenes filled with emotions. There's still more than a month of editing and post-production ahead of us. We wouldn't like to disclose the plot now; I can only say that this clip will be different from the previous ones. However, some elements, symbols and atmosphere continue the stories which have been told in the previous music videos."
If you need any more convincing, these behind the scenes photos will surely give you some idea of how awesome this video will be.
