Helloween release new animated music video for ‘Out For The Glory’

HELLOWEEN have released a new animated music video!

The new music video, for the track Out For The Glory, is taken from the veteran German power metal band’s latest studio album, a self-titled effort, which was released back in June. The new animated music video was implemented by the students of Bachelor of Design (Animation & Interactive Media), RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.

“I had an idea for a video where all band members are depicted as dinky, odd noble courtiers and ministers,” guitarist/vocalist Michael Weikath explains. “All of us should be floating in the clouds, Deris as a nutty emperor…and after a while more and more details came up and at one point in time we wrote everything down and sent the video concept to the Australian animation team.”

Aaron McLoughlin, Senior Lecturer at the University of Melbourne, who has already been involved in several projects with Atomic Fire Records CEO Florian Milz [CHILDREN OF BODOM, ALESTORM, TANKARD] adds, “when I heard that HELLOWEEN is interested in a collaboration I was totally gobsmacked. The boys are my absolute heroes since I was a teenager and I was sure that my students would love to work on a song by this band. Seven and a half minutes might not sound like a lot but in animation terms it is a marathon. We had so much great stuff that the production of Out For The Glory was a real challenge. Weiki wanted the video to look as cute as possible and we immediately knew: a legendary band from the other side of the planet wants us to create a medieval epic full of cuteness? You bet!”
