Exclusive OVTLIER “Spineless” Video Premiere Goes Dark And Violent
On October 4, rock/metal band Ovtlier will be releasing their new single Spineless. Today, we’re premiering the music video for the band’s new single, which was directed by Josiah Moore.
The video, which features all the reds you could possibly want, is a vicious visual representation of the tight, aggressive music. With a verse that sounds like something straight from a Slipknot album, vocalist Joey Arena barks and snarls through lyrics before switching to a clean singing approach for the arena-sized chorus.
For those who cut their teeth on bands like Korn, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, and the like, this is going to be exactly the kind of song you need to kickstart your day!
You can pre-order/save the song right here.
Video director Josiah Moore tells Dread Central, “For ‘Spineless’, we had a very clear idea right from the beginning of what we wanted the finished piece to feel like. We were blessed to land an actor so willing to dive in deep with our ideas and fully commit to making our concepts come to live in a visceral way. It was a long day of shooting and many, many hours of meticulous visual effects work. I am incredibly grateful for the trust OVTLIER put in me and my team to pull off this big idea! I truly hope fans not only enjoy and remember the song but maybe if we’re lucky… a few of our images [will] keep them restless in bed.”
OVTLIER frontman Joey Arena adds, “The music video portrays symbolisms of the horrors in today’s sickness and society. This year, I watched my grandmother, my main source of stability fight her losing battle to cancer. When she was diagnosed a few years ago, I made it my mission to educate myself about the disease. She put her trust into her doctors, as many would and the pills they prescribed had so many negative side effects and the chemo they pushed into her frail body that destroyed everything good and bad only to have it come back, spread and mutate. I watched her lose a part of herself daily. I watched her lose sleep and barely hang on. I couldn’t imagine the courage and strength it took to face every day. Researching it all, the origins of chemotherapy and radiation used as a medical “solution” are complete lunacy, especially finding out its “success rate”. If you, the reader know someone who is a part of that small success rate, you’re fortunate to know a survivor in that minority. Without going further down the rabbit hole, Spineless reflects my personal views on the medical and governmental studies and that we are nothing but lab rats and test subjects. They plant the bug and out comes the disease. It’s the food we eat; the thoughts we think and the air breathe… It’s like there’s a new disease every week with a name attached to it as though it was created in a lab. Is it crazy to think that most of the sickness is man-made and brought upon ourselves? Sure, bacteria evolves but look at how STD’s are transmitted. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Where did it start and when does it end? I am questioning more cause I’m tired of watching loved ones suffer. What is scarier than to believe you’re just a rat in an endless maze? Are we just slaves to ourselves? Do we enslave each other? This is not just about doctors; this is about politicians, the media, corporations, and companies that we support. Bankers, lawyers, judges, these are the people you put your faith in and that you give power to. To massive amounts of these lab coat vermin, we are social experiments at best. The elite or powers that be sit back, fund and watch the reactions of society. Knowing pharmaceutical sales reps, being told how everyone gets their kick-backs and primarily the doctors get incentive to push specific drugs, its a dark and twisted charade and all trial and error. How about the stories that are surfacing about purposely misdiagnosing cancers? How much of a piece of shit do you have to be to rip someone’s heart out, fuck their world up and evidently kill them? It’s related population control. Good thing karma exists. My thoughts are this; like all businesses, doctors also need returning business. To treat sickness and to cure it are two different things.”
