Lord Dying Parody Early ’90s Death Metal in New Video
How many times have you been watching a video and been like, “Man, all that random imagery is kinda cool looking, but what the fuck does it all mean?”
Lord Dying have taken that concept to its logical extreme in their new video for “A Wound Outside of Time” by creating an homage to and satire of completely nonsensical metal videos, particularly those from the early ’90s death metal canon. The slow-motion headbang shots, the decapitated limbs, the woman aimlessly wandering, it’s all here… they’ve even included some cheesy, very basic and very ’90s visual effects. Here’s frontman Erik Olson on the video:
We’re psyched to release this new video for ‘A Wound Outside of Time!’ This vid pays homage to our favorite early 90’s Death Metal videos, like Bolt Thrower’s ‘Cenotaph,’ Unleashed’s ‘Before the Creation of Time’, Entombed’s ‘Left Hand Path’, etc. We really love the quick flashes of cliched over the top imagery and slow motion head banging sequences that infest so many videos of that era. Enjoy, and catch us on the road.
Speaking of catching them on the road, below the video you’ll find their tour dates with Crowbar and Battlecross. Don’t miss ’em.
