WALK AS CHAOS: 'Impasse' Video Released

January 24, 2013

"Impasse", the new video from WALK AS CHAOS, the new "extreme progressive metal" collaboration between Alan Sacha Laskow (DIVINITY, ENDITOL) and Jerrod Maxwell-Lyster (OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, AUTOBODY),can be seen below. The clip was helmed by one of Alberta's leading independent music video directors, Doug Cook, and it incorporates various filmmaking techniques like old-school stop-motion photography, computer graphic elements mixed with live action along with fantastic set and costume design to bring "Impasse" to the visual forefront.

"We are super excited about our new music video for 'Impasse'," Laskow said. "Doug Cook went the extra mile and we are proud to say we feel it sticks out as being modern and inventive — just like our music.

"When we started talking about how to bring the song into the visual realm, Doug decided the backdrop should be a futuristic world made up of lines that had a difficult time connecting with each other, like a maze. He also wanted to put Jerrod and I into situations that showcased our collaboration (singer/engineer) but also the frustration one can be faced with when being at a impasse, whether is be Man vs. Man, Man vs. Tech and Man vs. Nature etc."

WALK AS CHAOS is described in a press release as "two musical comrades from the northern wasteland collaborat[ing] to create a unique hybrid between true progressive and extreme metal leanings. All instrumentation is programmed and played by MIDI except the guitar and vocals. Think CYNIC and ANIMALS AS LEADERS meeting MESHUGGAH and DECAPITATED and you're getting there. A continuation of ENDITOL with a fresh start and new name, WALK AS CHAOS is essentially a playground for their minds to unleash whatever they feel like and put down to 'tape', just pure expression and an honest attempt to communicate."
