Music Video Of The Week: Doppelganger by Mortiis

If you don’t know who Mortiis is then you should be thanking them for releasing their new music video just in time for us to enjoy for Halloween. We are in observance of the great holiday and every post is Halloween/horror related. Mortiis is a industrial metal band from the great country of Norway that is gearing up to release a brand new album in 2016 called The Great Deceiver. The band has just unleashed the new single Doppelganger for you to download here and they also unleashed a new music video for the track.  The video is eerily creepy with insects, chains, bloodied tools in what could be a torture chamber. So, that basically means that it’s a video that all horror fans can enjoy this Halloween. Unfortunately, Mortiis looks like the one that is getting worked on in the video itself. Mortiis talked about the song saying, “As a song, ‘Doppelganger’ not so much investigates or peeks into a conflicted psyche, as it just rips it open and exposes someone for being a two faced piece of shit. I absolutely see myself as that. Sometimes. Other times I try to be a good person. I often fail. Perhaps I treat myself harshly. But it´s there now, in my face, and I don´t disagree with what the song is saying.” The video was directed by Robyn Van Swank with Nick Plotquin and it’s definitely worth checking out as Mortiis claims the video represents being held back musically. Mortiis says, “I always thought that was ridiculous. We wanted to make videos that people would notice, that would cause a reaction, something they wouldn´t forget as soon as the next video came on. I always thought that if our music or imagery pissed someone off, or made them want to puke in their mouths that would be a way better reaction than indifference.” Check out the video below and download the track with the link that was provided.
