NAKED DUDES + WOODS = METAL

 Thursday, August 13th, 2009 at 12:00pm by

This video by The Psyke Project, sent in by MS Maniac Kris K., certainly starts off innocently enough… and then devolved into one of the weirdest fucking videos I’ve ever seen. I can imagine how the initial production meeting for this video went: “So, like, we wanna be in the woods, naked, covered in black mud.” “You mean clothed in a warehouse with lots of lights flashing?” “No, in the woods, naked, covered in black mud.”

According to The Psyke Project’s MySpace, the video is just a microcosm of their entire new album Dead Storm (out August 28th on Lifeforce):

”Dead Storm” is a rendition of Scandinavian nature and narratives of the world that THE PSYKE PROJECT belong to. The album is a sound scape influenced by the frailty and authenticity of traditional Nordic music and at the same time there’s a presence of pristine landscapes throughout the songs. The honesty of Nordic narratives – be it nature, myths or music – has made an deep impact on how we wanted to record the album and the emotions that should be conveyed through ”Dead Storm.” It has been paramount to us that all studio recordings were done live and within a short time span in order to stay honest to the song writing and to convey a sense of authenticity and unpredictability on the album.

Pretty cool if you ask me. Enjoy the Danish nudity below.

    First the Shadows Fall dick rising comment now this horseshit. Further proof that this site openly embraces homoerotic activities.

    • Michiel

      And why the hell not? Why does the word homoerotic even exist? It has absolutely no point but to discriminate.

    In other news: kickass video to a kickass song.

    Real reason for the creation of this video: One of the members has a huge johnson and wanted to swing it around for everyone to see so he made up a bullshit story about scandanavians and nature and then rolled around in the mud naked.

  • Milkman

    this is a pretty good band. srsly

    FINALLY!!! NAKED MEN INSTEAD OF NAKED WOMEN! i’ve been getting so sick of the fact that all of the good metal bands so frequently release videos that show slutty girls exposing their fake breasts (i’m referring to you, satyricon!!!) and they never show men in a sexual manner (except for gorgoroth… but we all know about gaahl). for this reason, i support this band for having the balls (no pun intended) to rip off their clothes.

    I liked their last CD. I will probably pick this up as well.

  • JohnsonGrinder

    This video kicks ass!!! There are so many metal bands that do videos in the woods and they always suck ballz. It’s like the band and the director become retarded as soon as they step into the forest, case and point – Immortal – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VBdAY8eA9w – JESUS FUCK! What the hell? So kudos to these guys for really pulling it off!

    It seems that these “Intense” guys also did their Paralyzed video and it was smart of Psyke to stick with them. They have a fuckin’ bad-ass video on their site for another metal band called HateSphere – seriously messed up shit.

  • Sator

    I think they are naked because the Intens guy’s found out they where gay and what better than getting a heavy band in front of the camera, in the dark, in the woods and all alone AND getting paid for it!
    Kick ass music video by the way, we love it here in Barcelona.

  • Teddy

    I love it!.. first time confusing as hell.. second time details come trough.. third time: This is great!.. This is Art!

    You guys don’t want to know where the mike was plugged into..

    Anyhow. Most fucking awesome review we’ve got for a video we’ve made.

    We were location scouting and brainstorming with Jeppe, the bass player from Psyke and came up with the concept for the video. On our way home he said.. well.. I think you guys better explain this to Mikkel from the band. He had 2 conditions for a video. He did not want to act and by no way he wanted to be naked…
