Industrial Addiction

Torture Tuesday - Front Line Assembly

by Ambient Decay on February 12th, 2008

Front Line Assembly has been around for many years and has been rocking the Synth-Pop and Industrials scenes since I can remember. Now this song called “The Blade” is about a 5.5 on a 1:10 scale. It’s great to listen to when working on a project or as a tune to have some background noise. Too bad I can’t say the same about the music video.

I know I am picky about what makes a music video worth sometimes time, even if it is only less than 5 minutes long, but damnit, if you tried showing this music video to your grandparents they’d probably go into shock and have the same face most industrial lovers have when watching this poorly created video; “The what the hell does this have to do with ANYTHING?!” look.

Through out the entire song, he’s holding a remote, and I’m thinking, what the hell does that have to do with the song in any way? Is he pissed there is nothing on? Does he secretly want to be a television producer? Where the beer in his left? I was half expecting for one of the other bandmates to serve him a damn pot-pie with an apron on. The second thing that seems just thrown in there was the hand clawing at the television screen. It brings back memories of the movie “Poltergeist”. That movie was alright and yes, it did scare the crap out of me as a child but it still held little to no value on the song.

This music video had so much potential considering the lyrics are decent and a music video would have helped clarify more meaning behind the song. Great Job on dropping the ball in your court mates…

As Always, Here is A Fix.
