“I’m freaking out!” Linkin Park’s new album From Zero hits Number One in the UK charts
See Mike Shinoda and Emily Armstrong accepting their trophy from the Official Charts to celebrate Linkin Park’s new album From Zero hitting Number One.
Check out the band's unsettling visualization of their latest album that's as trippy as the music it accompanies.
One thing can be said about Seattle doom metal duo Bell Witch: they go all out. Last year, the band released Mirror Reaper, a new album in the form of a single song clocking in at an hour-plus, that takes the listener on a dark, powerful journey in the reverberating unknown.
Now, the band has done one better: they've created an official visual album to go along with Mirror Reaper. The band, along with director Taylor Bednarz, quilted together a collection of 83 minutes of archival film and vintage stock footage to create a visualization that matches the musical movements in Mirror Reaper. When coupled with the album, the movie creates a strange and frightening emotional experience that will have funs gripping the armrests of their seats.
According to Bell Witch vocalist and bassist Dylan Desmond, "Taylor Bednarz created a fantastic film to fit Mirror Reaper using exclusively archived footage. During the writing process it became evident to us that the music invited a visual aspect. Bednarz's interpretation captures much of the emotion we were trying to convey during the song and we are proud of the collaboration with him."
Watch the Mirror Reaper visual album below and experience a fever dream of human history:
Along with the film, the band has repressed Mirror Reaper in two gorgeous color variants, pictured below. You can buy them here.
