Beastwars Unveil New Video for “Dune”

If you’ve ever seen a video before from New Zealand h-e-a-v-y heavies Beastwars (the one for “Empire” from their first album comes to mind, with “Tower of Skulls” following soon after), you know they go all out. Earlier this year, the band released their sophomore outing, Blood Becomes Fire (review here), and the clip they’ve put together for the three-minute “Dune” from the album only highlights how epic the Wellington four-piece can make three minutes sound. Also in this case, look. If the animated style wasn’t enough, nothing pushes “epic” over the top like a giant sloth.

The gritty psychedelic visuals of “Dune” were made by Skyranch.tv with funding from NZ on Air. Beastwars head to Australia for some shows in Melboune next month, and you’ll find the dates in the release included with the video below. Enjoy:

Beastwars, “Dune” official video

Beastwars Release New Video feat. a T-Rex, Giant Sloths…

…a flying motorbike, viking longship, army tanks and a traveler lost deep in time and space. They all make an appearance in this brand new video from New Zealand’s Beastwars.

Director Simon Ward of SKYRANCH says “We approached the video as an animated comic, reminiscent of Heavy Metal magazine or something straight out of a Ralph Bakshi film. We were going for something quite otherworldly and weird with a buzzy time travel story.”

“Dune” is the opening track from the critically acclaimed album Blood Becomes Fire which was released in April. Click here for the clip: http://youtu.be/CIZQHR6-Ngg
