DEADSTAR ASSEMBLY: 'Killing Myself Again' Video Available
July 26, 2006Florida theatrical/industrial metallists DEADSTAR ASSEMBLY have shot a lead-off video, "Killing Myself Again", from their just-released sophomore full-length, "Unsaved". Comprised of members Dearborn (vocals),the Dro (bass),Cygnus (drums),DreGGs (guitar) and new member sKuz (who replaces Mubo on keyboards),DEADSTAR ASSEMBLY's new clip proves to be the group's most over-the-top yet, according to Dearborn — thanks to producer Rey "Darkhak" Gutierrez.
"We showed up to the set with meal worms, giant African millipedes, Jager, a bag of blood we got from an animal clinic, Tasers, violet wands, ball gags, etc." Dearborn says. "We knew this wasn't a concept video, so we did things more for an aesthetic appeal. The color, the grain, the antics and props were all real and we just had fun and experimented with them. Rey had no idea what we were going to show up with, he thought it was just five guys in make-up with our instruments, next thing you know we are smashing his fluorescent lights and eating live worms and doing shots of Jager. It was by far the easiest and most exciting video the band has done to date."
Dearborn also issues a warning for the faint of heart while watching the clip. "The video is cut pretty aggressively and may give one seizures, that was the point. Artistically we got to really express ourselves, Dro eating live worms off the girls' thighs and stomach was rather disturbing yet quite memorable."
Pleased with the end result, Dearborn offers praise for the director. "We feel it is our best video to date and it has been very well received by our fans! We loved making it and working once again with Darkhak. He has got to be one of the most talented directors and editors we have had the pleasure to work with. A total pro and artist."
