Shoot Programmed To Consume?Video
ABYSMAL DAWN guitarist, vocalist Charles Elliott commented on the video process: "We just finished shooting the video clip for 'Programmed to Consume' and we can't wait to see the final product! After about 11 hours of headbanging, and almost setting our drummer and amps on fire, our work is done and we are awaiting the final edit of the video. It's definitely a step up from our clip and it's been a serious pleasure working with Gary Smithson, whose worked with EXODUS and GOATWHORE in the past. As far as the concept goes it shows us doing what we do best, playing our fucking hearts out! Along with some cool visual ideas that we felt touched on the lyrical concept this should make for a great clip. Here are some pics from the whole thing to hold you over in the meantime (still images from the video can be viewed here: http://relapse.com/preview/ABYSMALDAWN_video.jpg). Enjoy!"
