THE DEVIL RIDES OUT
RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO 'EMPTY SKY'
Long
before Beyonce dropped her self-titled video album late last year, four
very hairy, very loud gentlemen from the west coast of Australia
dreamed a little dream. Perth stoner/sludge lords The Devil Rides Out
announced back in June 2013 that they were to release a short film for
every track on their new release, each one with a different director /
artist given free reign to do whatever they liked. This "video album"
was entitled 'Ugly Creatures'.
As
they had hoped for, the resulting films have been incredibly varied but
always interesting, from Cat Hope's experimental take on 'Blood River'
to the more traditional live performance video - with a twist - of Baz
Harvey's 'Ugly Creature'. They've also enjoyed a bit of success, with
'The Righteous Walk' - created by the bands own Joey K and Andrew Ewing -
selected to appear on the 2014 Music Feedback DVD compilation, and
Richard Eames' epic video for 'Burn Again' being selected for the 2013
WAM Festival DVD compilation as well as the 2013 Sydney Underground Film
Festival.
'Empty
Sky' - the fifth and final "Creature" in this ambitious video project -
has been directed by up-and-coming young filmmaker Robert Bremner and
is a badass homage to Eastern samurai cinema via Italian spaghetti
western and a Tarantino-esque sexy/cool aesthetic. The dream-like film
was shot by Bremner with assistance from Alex Aitken and stars Taihra
Swaine and Ayzia Hogan as the rival samurai warriors in a battle to the
death, beneath an empty sky...
