Skynd release new music video for ‘Edmund Kemper’
SKYND have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Edmund Kemper, is the brand new single from the industrial-tinged true crime-inspired duo, and concludes their Chapter IV series.
Often asked why each particular case, SKYND comments, “there is a detail to this story that stuck with me and sparked my creativity to write about Edmund Kemper. As a young boy Edmund liked to play with Barbie dolls & dolls. He ‘took’ their heads off and that made a sound like a ‘pop’, performing funeral rites. While translating true crime cases into music I have a visual idea of the song, and the dolls had to be in the video. It was important to me to show the beheading of the doll because it illustrates his crimes, without being too gratuitous.”
Director Anique Wild adds, “I had the great honour to translate SKYND‘s new song into a visual world. A hardly believable story of a brutal monster who could not appear more normal in the outside world. The video is meant to convey the values of this song in an artistic, visual way. Find the story behind the story – try to look behind the curtain.”
