Here is our latest video. The song was originally created in 2017.

This video is pretty dark.

Myrmidons of Fanatica

Robert created the video. I remixed and mastered the original tracks.

The backtrack was created with Band in a Box..

Scott / Robert,

Wow! That's some video! It's dark, but completely mesmerizing.

The remix is great - really brings out all the tracks and highlights Robert's vocal. Love the wah guitar.

Excellent work!

Very tidy remix Scott...yes - the wah is the star early on.
That bass pulse throughout is a unifying sonic factor - the solo really feels like a guitar version of Robert's voice & melodic style.
You did a good job on the audio of this.


Cheers

Scott and Robert,

That was extremely creative.

The music matched the video perfectly.

Superior out of the box, or out of the Band-in-a-Box, thinking.


Loved it.

Scott & Robert.
Fantastic remix. Sounds absolutely great!
Video is cool, but a bit disturbing. Too many images to process.
Thank you for sharing.

Very artistic, Scott.
A little disturbing but then it’s meant to be.
Well put together.

Well, we feel like we just watched a sci-fi movie set in a dystopian New York City. Scary stuff here.

Scott, you’ve provided a masterful soundtrack to Robert’s movie with foreboding vibes from all the instruments and vocals.

Way cool y’all!

Thanks everyone for the awesome comments. Really glad you liked the song. We were a little concerned that the subject matter in the video might be well received. The song was written over 6 years ago.

Really well done - especially the stereo effects. Vocal effects were excellent, and the guitar as well.

Nice work on the video, too! Pretty impressive!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Scott,

Superb production both musically and visually. Dark atmosphere, lots of effects both in terms of mixing the composition and the video images. I particularly appreciated the vibrant lead guitar. It's a great success because we are immersed directly and throughout the clip in this atmosphere. I appreciate it. Very well done

Genius composition and production. A sonic treat. Dark and frightening. The video is disturbing too. But I love it all. This is my all time favorite from Spirit Level.
