Venom Prison release new music video for ‘Judges Of The Underworld’
VENOM PRISON have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Judges Of The Underworld, is taken from the UK metal band’s upcoming new album, Erebos, which is scheduled to be released in February next year.
The new music video was directed and produced by Thomas Coe Brooker with creative input coming from vocalist Larissa Stupar.
Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band says, “Judges Of The Underworld deals with the crippling reality of people who face incarceration, who oftentimes are followed by violence over a lifetime. This violence can present itself as a dominating factor in a context of structural poverty and racial inequality, creating roles in an individual’s life where they are not only the victim, but also witness and offender at different times in different situations. But the violence we address in our courts and prisons is judged out of social context and can therefore not lead to a fair and personalised resolution for people who are stuck in a cycle of violence and systematic oppression.
It was important for us to visualise this feeling of isolation, anxiety, and repeated violence in the music video for Judges Of The Underworld and the idea was to show an individual that is stripped down to their basic needs and instincts. Consumed by their helplessness to navigate in an everyday situation, feeling isolated within themselves whilst going under in a sea of people that face similar conditions. This is where Thomas Coe Brooker comes in as a director and cinematographer, with his unique eye for detail he was able to bring out this combative helplessness and aggressiveness of said individual. He was able to convey the feeling of being alone in a crowd, suffering the same fate as many others, where isolation becomes your existence and a vicious cycle of your life at the hands of systematic violence.”
