Post Death Soundtrack Unleashes Their New Video "Chosen Sons"
A dimly-lit journey through disfigured monstrosities and oddity-laden chasms serves as the visual backdrop for the first offering from Vancouver-based electro-doom rock duo Post Death Soundtrack's vitriolic third album. The sardonic trudge-hop of the lead single “CHOSEN SONS” takes woozy mellotron strings akin to Bowie's Blackstar and splices in cryptic samples, digital dive-bombs, a serene Arabian breakdown, and a punishing final statement amid the roars of beasts.
This serves as the soundtrack to Steve Moore's scathing commentary on extremist groups like ISIS or Al-Qaeda. Temporarily placing himself in the shoes of one of these misguided soldiers, Moore investigates with biting sarcasm, the tragic path from scorned youth to radicalized zealot. Committing atrocities for a God that he will likely never meet.
"Organizations like ISIS happily recruit child soldiers online and enjoy the luxury of selective, self-referential truth. Donning their black masks and strutting in the parade, this is our ode to these huffing and puffing children, these chosen sons." -Steve Moore
"This music video was a departure for me - using CGI as oppose to live-action - and was a whole new way of getting creative. Thank you Jon and Steve for this opportunity to put to screen some darker depths." - Video creator Colin Everall
