The clip is being helmed by acclaimed director Patric Ullaeus (LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, DIMMU BORGIR),who previously worked with the group on their video for the track "Falling to Pieces".

FIREWIND singer Apollo Papathanasio was forced to sit out a part of the band's World Allegiance Tour this past spring due to a family emergency. His temporary replacement for the the last seven dates of the band's European tour with ANGRA and POWERQUEST was Henning Basse of METALIUM.
