Aired on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball and FUSE; Nominated for Headbanger's Ball's Best Video of the Year for 2004
This video was a long undertaking, which got shot and edited in fits and starts over much of 2004. The result, however, was well worth it -- a wild melange of images that fits a very frenetic song. Part of the directors' goal, besides showing as much as possible of the very beautiful lead, was to take a lot of the clichés of headbanger videos (yes, they have clichés) and try to integrate them into a story. That is to say, make a video that you can't quite tell if it's being serious or if it's being tongue-in-cheek. You can decide for yourself if they succeeded. Either way, I think it's still fun to watch. There's even a brief homage to a movie that Kenneth and I did together, Through the Window. The male lead is my good friend Andy Keuster (below), who also appears in Art Piece and Trapped by the Mormons.
To watch Piss Angel:
If you'd like to see it larger, I believe there's one on Relapse's website (I'd put one up, but I don't own the video, after all).
