Following the recent unfurling of their mammoth new Drifting Towards The Edge Of The Earth 2xCD full-length, Connecticut doom metal trio, WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS, has released a brand new video from the album.
Directed and edited by Charlie Winthal and the WHEN THE DEADBOLT BREAKS' founding guitarist/vocalist, Aaron Lewis, the more than eleven-minute-long video tells the harrowing story for the third track of the album's first disc, "Sleeps In Burning Hills." The disturbing imagery of the tune comes to live in a bleak and ominous visual mini-movie now playing at The Obelisk, stating of the video: "Culminating in quick, vague jumpcuts that give way to eerily peaceful footage of forest sunset, there's a sense the whole time that something vile will happen, is happening, has happened. Lewis doubles as a photographer and is no stranger to fetish-based work, and it's precisely that air of sexualized violence/violent sexuality that comes through across 'Sleeps in Burning Hills.' I won't spoil the narrative thread, but things hardly seem to turn out well for the lady in the white dress. Take that, purity."
