Porcelain Heart video screen-shots

[metal_wrath]

I don't listen to Opeth for the music videos.

Music videos are generally useless and unnecessary.

I'm torn. On the one hand, it looks way better than the TGC video, and the cinematography looks great. But the victorian theme and the whole abuse-theme kinda makes it iffy. I guess it depends on how it works with the lyrics and what kind of a narrative it ends up being. Right now it feels a tad cliché. But I'll reserve judgement till I finally see it.

I think it's a shame Opeth hasn't gotten to do more videos. While Metal-videos are rarely any good, the music video as a genre is full of potential, and I think Opeth could really do something different if they put their mind to it.

I know that I don't respect rules, excuse me...But Porcelain Heart and The Lotus eater are listennable somewhere since few hours...

Bandshot is very nice. And Mike's too. But actors' shots looks weird... well, we'll se. Here's jpg's:

I can't wait to see the video, but most of all to HEAR the song! First thing I do monday is buy the single off itunes!

By the way, for those interested, some pictures of Bogesunds slott:

It dosent look bad at all, but anything has to be better than 'The Grand Constipation'

They're putting money on this album. I think it's not too cheap for them to record church organs and rent a place like that for a video shoot.

OPETH SOLD OUT!!!

Nice work man. Thanks. Cool pictures

The shots of the characters looks quite cliche and gay to me, but the band shots are awsome. It'll be exciting to see this video, though like someone else said videos are guite useless. Unless they are really really well done and work as a piece of art in itself that compliment's the music. Like that Tool video (Don't remember the song right now). This Opeth video looks like it's just something that was made to promote the band on MTV and the likes. But of course one can't be sure, not having seen it yet.

Anyways I like Mikael and Mendez's new instruments. I don't know about you guys, but I think it's the first time I've seen Mendez with a 5-string bass.

my thoughts

Btw guys and gals. I wouldn't worry. Don't forget this video has been made by Lasse Holie! This mans work with Porcupine Tree is breathtaking, there no way he'll turn in a lame music video! it'll be brilliant.

What the fuck? Using much money on a album doesn't mean they're selling out.

Be easier, I'm joking - take a look at the smileys. Really hate these talks about Opeth sold out. They never was a commercial band - even on "Damnation". Roadrunner have some money to put in promotion - it;s very good and it doesn't make Opeth's music more commercial or worse.

 

[Iki-ilkkuja]

It's definetly going to be exiting.

 

[blade-bunny]

Will it be availabe tomorrow?

 

[burntoast]

I want Mikael's PRS!

 

[leprecon]

Those pics from the video looks veeery nice. And I like promo videos overall, definitely worth watching after years and years.

Where's the toilet snake????

 

[Albatros]

Maybe it comes out from the tab this time! lol

 

[soundave]

Somebody please get on photoshopping those Porcelain Heart screenshots! I thought I could see the Immortal guys in one of them....

It actually means they're getting deeper and deeper in debt, and they'll have to release another great album to make up for it... then again, they'll have money in that one too. Looks like an endless process!
