Mortiis - Mental Maelstrom Video

This music video is one of the best that I have yet seen for industrial and EBM bands. Mortiis is mainly considered to be Heavy Metal by some, however, the beats and overall style (including the bands attire) is more associated with Gothic/EBM. This just goes to show that many bands are utterly lacking in specific categorization of their music.
Nowadays, across all genres of music, bands are mislabeled. Most of it is due to listeners and their utter lack of knowledge of what type of music is in what category as well as what makes that music labeled and categorized as such.
Now onto the music video.
Overall the video was done fairly well because it tells a story and keeps the scene easy to follow. It doesn’t have idiotic special effects that are un-needed as well as a beat that make your blood start pulsing faster. Another great thing about this music video (and the band) is even though he is dressed as a mythical creature, a troll, he still gets a dark and sensatious feeling across.
At least to me, he also passes off a feeling some people get when they are at a party or suffer some social anxiety. The feeling that you are unattractive and troll-ish (looking ugly).

I hope to see more videos and tracks such as this in the future, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for this band. Perhaps there are other tracks that you mates enjoy. If so, share them here!
