Buried Above Ground exploded onto the Minneapolis, MN scene with their energetic performances and their pummeling breakdowns. Today, we are premiering the director's cut of their “Serpent” music video (which contains some boobies, so be warned if you're at work.) Their new album Birth is out now.
Here's what vocalist DJ Gunnarson (guitars, vocals) had to say about the video:
“This time around the video's concept was less about a concept or story at all, and more about what emotions certain visuals could stir up. We wanted to have a lot of dark imagery that correlated visually with those emotions. Instead of the standard single linear story-line mixed with random band performance shots, we really wanted to create a visual onslaught of different dark and visceral images that created unease and fear in the viewer. We felt that the video should be as visually unrelenting, as the song and lyrics are musically. This video is our defining statement to the masses showing what this band is truly all about, as well as how our music should be experienced. It’s also by far the most rewarding video we have ever worked on."
