Lazerhawk - "Children Of The Night" Is A Music Video With A Curious Backstory

Something kind of strange happened a few months back (Februrary), we posted this same music video by Alexandre Louvenaz for Gesaffelstein's excellent Obsession track, only to see it pulled a few hours later. It was an amazing music video, and fit the oppressive tone perfectly while narrating a downward spiral into depravity contained inside an unassuming house in the wilderness. I spent weeks looking for any track of the new music video, which had simply vanished into thin air, until now.



The edited music video just resurfaced today with a new artist attached to it, Austin's retro synth prodigy Lazerhawk- who contributed a more upbeat horror track to Andrew's visuals. Children of the Night channels a lot of 80's era VHS horror schlock, although after seeing the original pairing I still feel that Gesaffelstein's track was a better fit overall for the visual narrative. Nonetheless, nice to see Lazerhawk get some legit music video love.

The Post Apocalyptic Art Of MarcoDalidingo

(Via)

MarcoDalidingo is the alias for Marcus Lindgren, an up and coming student studying visual design and game development in Karlshamn, Sweden. As a 21 year old student he's dedicated the last few years of his education going all out in the Photoshop front, experimenting, failing, trying again until a semblance of a personal style began to emerge.

How would I describe his work? A fine mishmash of grungy, post apocalyptic work with some truly nice, painterly brush work that's emerged over time. It's really cool when you can see an artist make major strides in his skill level while browsing his portfolio, and it seems like Marcus has just begun to hit some truly great notes in his work. Keep an eye out for this one, and check out more of his work after the break.

Trent Reznor Feat. Karen O: Immigrant Song

This awesome cover of the classic 1970 Led Zeppelin song features an awesome, noisier and grittier sound, the signature treatment we've come to expect from Trent Reznor. If this is your first time hearing it, the track was created for David Fincher's western adaptation of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo," and it fits absolutely perfectly.

I loved this 2011 remake for the fact that it improved on the original (IMO), adding a much improved chaotic, urgent finale to the track. The music video itself features some pretty badass, grungy imagery that kind of reminded me of Tetsuo The Iron Man. Fantastic cover, and I can't wait for the film to hit theaters.
