DECREPIT BIRTH Films 'The Resonance' Video

June 4, 2010

Santa Cruz, California tech-death masters DECREPIT BIRTH recently filmed a video for the song "The Resonance" with director Ann Christin "Anki" Rihm, a former VJ/producer for MTV Norway's "Headbangers Ball". Check out photos from the video shoot at this location.

Commented the band: "We had a blast shooting late into the night, deep in the dark of the Mojave desert! The director, Anki, had a great vision of what she wanted to do.

"We had a chance to preview some of the footage, and we couldn't be more pleased with what we saw! It was about time for us to do a video and we are glad we had such awesome conditions to shoot our first."

Rihm added: "DECREPIT BIRTH is no ordinary death metal band and my goal was to capture that.

"I chose to build the set in an as natural environment/setting as possible and put much effort into how to light the set to give the video the exact look and feeling I wanted. My main focus was to make it seem as organic and natural as possible but keeping an developing change that turns into a very massive final look.

"The video was shot for 12 hours straight in the desert three hours outside L.A.

"The guys were incredibly easy to work with and we had so much fun and a very good time making this video!"

"The Resonance" comes off DECREPIT BIRTH's new album, "Polarity", which will be released on July 27 via Nuclear Blast Records.
