Burn Down Eden release new music video for ‘Suckbox’
BURN DOWN EDEN have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Suckbox, is taken from the German melodic death metal band’s brand new EP, Epiphany, which was released earlier this month, via Seek & Strike.
Speaking about the song, and its accompanying new music video, the band shares, “the lyrics to Suckbox were written to a time, when there were allegations made public against Till Lindemann [RAMMSTEIN] about sexual assault. It’s a very serious topic that we wanted to bring to light, since the exploitation of women in the rock and metal world is a well known secret that comes to light occasionally. And it goes far beyond our beloved scene. Athletes, politicians and actors. People with money and power tend to have a weird perspective on how they can treat people and women in particular. This was something we wanted to talk about. And of course we did it the BURN DOWN EDEN way, telling the story from the perspective of a rock star and how we picture those situations to happen. How the managers are instructed to find new girls on each show and the power of fame is used to treat them like shit. ‘…close your eyes, open your mouth and do the fucking deed’ is a very strong line to describe this use of power figuratively.
So how can you supplement this topic with a video you may ask yourself? We couldn’t translate the lyrics just into pictures, that’s for sure. So we came up with the idea to jump into different characters that are either convicted offenders or had/have serious allegations against them. And not just rock stars but politicians, too. During the first half of the song, we kinda introduce those characters and picture them in the most cocky way we think they might act in real life, with girls dancing around them as well. When we build up to the solo part, we also start the plot twist in the video. The girls start to fight back and take over the instruments playing the rest of the song. We are very happy with the outcome and think it’s a great statement.”
