Perturbator releases music video for “God Says (feat. Hangman’s Chair)”
Perturbator has dropped the visual for their latest single “God Says (feat. Hangman’s Chair)” today.
The Blade Runner-esque visual, which can be seen below, was directed by Metastasis. The director, who previously worked with Perturbator on the “Death of the Soul” visual, said this about “God Says” video:
“Directing this video has been quite a ride. A six-month long ride, day and night, with 38,257 frames rendered and a lot of challenges, but definitely by far my most memorable experience in terms of video directing. I wanted to depict a journey in a monochrome, neo-gothic, over-identified Metropolis dipped in a wet and never-ending night, illuminated by thousands of flickering, bleak, neon-lights, highlighting vice and decadence. It is a collision between Fitz Lang, Orson Welles, “Blade Runner,” old Batman, Dick Tracy and even Roger Rabbit.”
When it comes to the song, which is the closing track to Perturbator’s recent studio album Lustful Sacraments, the artist said this:
“’God Says’ is a song about completely giving yourself up to hedonism. It is perhaps the darkest song on Lustful Sacraments and that is in great part thanks to Hangman Chair’s haunting contribution.”
Hangman’s Chair said this about working with Perturbator:
“Our first meeting with James was back in 2017 at the Sainte Marthe during the recording of sessions of Banlieue Trist and our collaboration on our song ‘Tired Eyes.’ We immediately felt a comraderie, and the connection between us continued to grow in the years that followed. When he asked us to participate on ‘God Says,” it was an honor to return the favor.”
