Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Their brand new video clip “When You Go” turned out to be a big surprise! German rock band 21OCTAYNE – (feat. vocalist Hagen Grohe (The Joe Perry Project), guitarist Marco Wriedt (ex-Axxis) and drummer Alex Landenburg (Rhapsody) – go unusual ways: not only 21OCTAYNE chose children for the clip’s starring roles, they also tell a continuous story. Check out the video below.

“We are extremely happy how things were unfolding with the clip”, the band states. “Looking back, we were more than lucky that everything fell into place suddenly. When doing video clips, of course the result very much depends on the quality of actors – especially when you work with children – not to forget the director’s intuition and knowledge. With seven day of filming scheduled and a real, lively storyline it definitely was a risky undertaking. But now seeing the final result, we are totally blown away by „When You Go”. It turned out into a real movie and we are proud to have such an amazing clip representing our song. Also, all this was a lesson for us in another way: just like when we write new songs; follow your gut feeling and believe in what you do. We are certain that this way the most real and authentic music comes to light too.”

The new (sophomore) 21OCTAYNE album “2.0“ will be released on September 25th (EU)/October 2nd in North America, via AFM Records. Beside standard CD and Digipak (3 bonus tracks) also a special edition limited to 300 units; incl. Digipak, magic mug, bag, signed autograph card and signed guitar pick) is available.
