Moon Shot release new music video for ‘Blackened Spiral’
MOON SHOT have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Blackened Spiral, is taken from the Finnish alternative rock band’s upcoming new album, The Power (the follow-up to 2021’s Confession), which is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Reaper Entertainment. The new music video was directed by Sami Joensuu.
“Blackened Spiral is a very special song, as it includes two opposites. For one, it’s pretty light and pop sounding for a MOON SHOT song. On the other hand the message behind the song is profound and deep,” says chief composer, guitarist and producer Jussi Ylikoski about the new song. “It’s about dealing with and accepting death.”
Vocalist Ville Malja adds, “lyrically Blackened Spiral is one of the most honest, raw and painful text I’ve ever written for MOON SHOT. The positive pulse of the song builds the perfect dialogue with these fateful lyrics. The song is for those who have lost someone they love. It’s dedicated to the beautiful memories that stay with us forever no matter what happens.”
Video director Sami says, “with every video I’ve ever done, the visual world starts by being 100% present in the song first. Usually by playing it on repeat in the car. I never add film techniques or tricks into any video by force, they have to fit the song. During the start of the project, we had a great chat with Ville about the song and the color purple kept on coming up. That got my thoughts going towards explosive colors in general and that’s where animation/AI entered the picture. We knew from the get-go that we didn’t want the whole video to be animated though, which created the foundation for what you see in the end result: a blending of explosive live action, with the trippy world of the animations/AI. Combining those two felt like an exciting challenge.”
