A few months ago I had the idea for a music video for our song “Timeshift” where each of the words that are sung would just flash up on the screen. The end result wasn’t exactly what I had in mind but it still turned out pretty cool. From a lyrical standpoint, besides “Suffering”, I personally connect to this song more than any of our other songs, plus I think that this one has the best message for this type of video. It also vibes well with Whispers from our first album.

I thought that making the video would be quick and easy but it was actually a lot more time consuming then expected. It’s not a fast job matching up lyrics sang in a song, at the right time, with the words flashing in the video [rich mans karaoke]. I probably could have saved time if I did it in worse video quality but I wanted to post it in 1080p. HD all the way, SD is so 2005.

I hope you enjoy the video and the song. We’re getting things rolling again this year and hope to get some more steady updates to our YouTube page and our website. Already working on new material for our next EP.

Special thanks to Linkara for using our hard rock cover of his theme song on the 100th Episode of his show Atop the Fourth Wall (AT4W). We wanted to do something hard hitting and badass for his epic episode, and I think we succeded. The comic covers in the video are all of the comics that Linkara has reviewed since his first episode.

Here’s the direct YouTube link to the song:

Our amazing drummer Cal Beaudoin has entered into a drumming competition and this is his submission video. He has already made it into the Semifinals and has been voted by the judges to be one of the Top 10 in Western Canada. The drum solo is pretty bad ass if I do say so myself. Be sure to check it out!

Special thanks to Spoony for using our hard rock cover of his theme song, Break Me by the Irresponsible’s, on his most recent show/episode/review on The Spoony Experiment. It was super fun to record the song adding all the new changes and melody line tweaks. Spoony also did a wicked job as well editing the intro video to fit the badassness of the song. Definitely heavier and darker than the usual theme, but still awesome none the less. Let’s just hope he uses it again, maybe on a Halloween episode

Okay so here’s a music video for the track Let’s Start Over from our new album “Suffering”. It is again comprised of footage from the Living Illusion CD Release Party at the Starlite Room in Edmonton Alberta. Edited and filmed by Dan Holden of Phase Productions. Surprisingly people have said they actually like this video a little better than the video for Suffering, but I think that is up for debate. Hope you enjoy the song and like the video.

Here’s the direct link to the video:

I’d write more about the video but this is my third post in one day and I be burning out. Hahaha.

Alright, well after many months of waiting for the album to be finished we have finally gotten our video editor/camera man extraordinaire to make a video for our title track Suffering, from our new album of the same name, using the footage from our CD Release Party show at the Starlite Room in Edmonton (That’s totally a run on sentence but I am in too much of a hurry to fix it). The video looks awesome, I could not have made it look any where this good on my own.

Hope you guys enjoy the video and like the new song!
