Becoming The Archetype: Breathing Light – new video

         

BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE's new video for ‘Breathing Light’, tune taken from their fourth studio album, ‘Celestial Completion’, released in March 2011 through Solid State Records, “boasts cartoon versions of the band members wearing animal skins as sheaths, as well as animated ships, space, planets and a colorless earth. However, they run into an anti-beard tyrant and that makes all the difference,” reads the description on Noisecreep, where the video has premiered. Created by David Prindle, the animation features the band's official mascot, Clifton, as well: “As our official mascot, Clifton the Beardskull battles the face of evil with his little-known ability to shoot lasers out of his eyes. While all of our (obviously realistic) muscled physiques were able to obliterate the minions of evil, we were no match for Lord Todd. So it’s good we have Clifton on our side,” explained guitarist Seth Hecox. He and David Pindle worked on the concept for the video for a few weeks before settling on all the details: “For instance, the Evil Overlord can’t have just any old name. A good “bro” name like Todd was perfect, plus it allowed us to subtly reference “Mom and Dad Save the World”,” he wisely added. “This video was a realization of all of those influences [graphic novels, Metalocalypse and Aqua Teen Hunger Force] and the good times that ensue when experiencing any good art in the comic/graphic novel world.”

BECOMING THE ARCHETYPE features: Seth “Count Seth” Hecox – guitar, keyboards and vocals, Brent “Duck” Duckett – drums, Daniel Gailey – guitar and vocals and Jason Wisdom – bass and vocals.
