It has started…
The Beginning.
Genus Ordinis Dei has released the video of “Changing Star” Episode 1 of 4 from their upcoming release, The Beginning out on December 8th release on Eclipse Records.
The Beginning is the symphonic death metal band’s second metal music series and concept album. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Tommaso Monticelli, The Beginning finds Genus Ordinis Dei redefining not only the way one listens but how one experiences cinematic theatre. The twelve-track album will include ‘Episodes’ (videos) that will allow one to dive deep into the storyline of the album through visual elements.
“Changing Star” is one of the four Episodes. In the video, we are introduced to Brother and Sister and cannibalism and savagery. The song is exquisite in its own right, but once the visuals are watched, there is a wonderful synergy between two allowing the video to show the beauty and softness of the song while also not shying away from the harsh realm Genus Ordinis Dei has also created.
On the song, lead vocalist and guitarist Nick K says,
We decided to shoot the video of this song after listening to the beautiful melody of the track’s chorus and the great feeling of travel that the portamento of the piece gives you. We were looking for a song that perfectly represented the first episode of the series and ‘Changing Star’ was perfect.
Producer and guitarist Tommy Monticelli continues
The video was shot in many locations and traveling with the team for all these kilometers was a real adventure. In particular, shooting the cannibalism scene was a mix of emotions and strong sensations. We literally doused the whole mountain with fake blood, still wondering how the local community, once they got there, didn’t start chasing a serial killer. (laughs) Then the experience on the Pordoi Pass at 3000 meters, shooting half-naked scenes in this lunar landscape was like living an absurd dream. Luckily for us we found mild and sunny days, otherwise we would have suffered the pains of hell from the cold. Providence kisses the bold!
