The Interbeing

“Shadow Drift”, the new video from the Copenhagen, Denmark-based industrial metal band THE INTERBEING, can be seen below. The clip was directed by Alexander Hørup, who spent years working closely with the Danish music video director Casper Balslev on videos for THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA, DUNÉ and MARINA & THE DIAMONDS, among others. The team behind the video also includes one of Denmark’s the best music video editors, Jens Høll, who has edited videos for some of the biggest Danish bands, including KASHMIR, L.O.C and CARPARK NORTH.

Commented THE INTERBEING lead singer Dara Toibin: “We chose the song ‘Shadow Drift’ because it shows a slightly different side of the band compared with the rest of our album. The atmosphere is more melancholic and the lyrics are based on a surreal world, where the one’s shadow is a separate individual who the main character tries to merge with. In the video, the black liquid symbolizes the persons’ shadows, and during the video the liquid covers each personality more and more. The little boy with the rabbit mask is partly inspired by the psychological thriller ‘Donnie Darko’ from 2001 and he represents the characters’ ‘alternative self.’ His role is very essential for the development of the video. We all think the whole process has been awesome and fascinating. From the very beginning we were on the same level with Alexander. It was a very ambitious project which succeeded to a full extent, and we are extremely happy with the result.”

“Shadow Drift” comes off THE INTERBEING‘s debut album, “Edge Of The Obscure”, which was released last year through Mighty Music. According to a press release, the CD “clearly underlines THE INTERBEING to be a well-defined and visionary band. The record contains a low tuned and polyrhythmic soundscape with melodic elements and bleak electronic ambience. Tight, aggressive, melodic and atmospheric are the key concepts. The sound co-exists with the lyrics which revolve around a fictional inner being. The listener follows this creature through dystopian and distinct worlds and the record ends with the creature reaching the edge.”
