I'll make sure to ask him about it this coming Monday, and post the answer here.

Preparing the interview as I type this.

 

[Metal_Camden]

wow! awesome, what are you interviewing them for?

ya i would be really curious to see what his stand on all of this stuff is

Edit:
I mean, there's obviously something very close to home on a music video like this. everything in this video has to do with it.

I'm actually going to be publishing it on CWGMagazine.com, I've been doing some freelance writing for them.

I'm curious about that too. By the way, I keep on looking at the cover artwork, isn't it friggin' sweet?

The White-haired elder seems awfully Christopher Lee-esque, though it isn't him.

Loving this. Keep meaning to pick up the new disc. Probably will at the fest though.

Maybe he's had it a while, but since when has Hansi had the really short hair?

I was surprised by it too. Maybe he just got tired of it?

And by the way, regarding the video clip and the theme, this was his quote on the press release NB sent out about the video:

[FONT=&quot]As far as the band’s personal beliefs on the meanings of events involving celestial bodies, Kürsch clarifies:[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]“We personally do not believe that incredible things will happen during eclipses – usually. Things like that can definitely and easily irritate your mind, though. According to the Mayan calendar, we already have appointments on planet Earth for 2013.”

Happy, Simon?[/FONT]

I was pretty disappointed with this video, as I was hoping for something at least vaguely evocative of the parts of Song of Ice & Fire that this tune actually is about. I think the only band that has done decent videos in recent time has been Kamelot. Human Stain and Rule the World had great videos.

Man, I have just re-watched the video. I see Hansi and I can only think of this:

Damn dude, what's with the super dark text? Thanks for the tidbit though. Interesting.

I'm sorry, I just copied it directly out of the press release in my inbox. Edited, btw.

I like the song. It's a bit more like their older stuff that ATitM. I'll be picking this up at PPUSA.

 

[Element_man]

Kind of cool. Hansi only looks like half a man with his short hair. I dunno if I'll ever get used the that. However, the rest of the band looks cool and showy. I prefer videos that are "action-based" with mostly shots of the band and less on story-oriented videos myself.

Love the song.....video is decent. Why is no one in the video playing bass???

 

[Cheiron]

Replace abandoned factory with Mayan temple = teh w1n

I actually found it interesting how this video clip mixes Set Abominae (the mascot for Iced Earth, carrying that thing) and Epica's Consign to Oblivion (I mean, look at the cover and the artwork in the booklet).

Oh yeah. Also, the lollipop.

Why is no one in the video playing bass???

Oliver Holzwarth is a session member (albeit a very long running one at this point), so he doesn't appear in promo pictures, videos, etc.

Hansi is conjuring up the bass with that arcane lollipop.
