Check out the band's unsettling visualization of their latest album that's as trippy as the music it accompanies.
One thing can be said about Seattle doom metal duo Bell Witch: they go all out. Last year, the band released Mirror Reaper, a new album in the form of a single song clocking in at an hour-plus, that takes the listener on a dark, powerful journey in the reverberating unknown.
Now, the band has done one better: they've created an official visual album to go along with Mirror Reaper. The band, along with director Taylor Bednarz, quilted together a collection of 83 minutes of archival film and vintage stock footage to create a visualization that matches the musical movements in Mirror Reaper. When coupled with the album, the movie creates a strange and frightening emotional experience that will have funs gripping the armrests of their seats.
According to Bell Witch vocalist and bassist Dylan Desmond, "Taylor Bednarz created a fantastic film to fit Mirror Reaper using exclusively archived footage. During the writing process it became evident to us that the music invited a visual aspect. Bednarz's interpretation captures much of the emotion we were trying to convey during the song and we are proud of the collaboration with him."
