Drone Corpse Aviator: Behind the Scenes

[@Sabroe_ffs]

When you look up to a band and absolutely love their music, you sometimes, maybe unintentionally, end up idolizing them to the point that they seem like they're from another world than you are. But then you see this and you realise they're just five dorks blowing up shit and playing some fast music cause it's cool and genuinely having the time of their lives with it. Love this band and everything they do!

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

That's exactly how I feel. Archspire Is my favorite band. They seem like Gods amongst men. Or any other bands that I love.

[@DocBree13]

They seem like they’d be a blast to just hang out and drink a beer with

🤣good one

Behind the scenes stuff is always awesome 🤩 shows all the hard work

[@eiatos]

This is literally the only metal music video I wasn't embarrassed to show my friends, leaps and bounds all around.

[@rexlupis]

"Drone Corpse Aviator" is one of the best music videos I can think of; I can't think of any other music video that not only captures the essence of the music it is paired with but is also so expertly executed. The crew did an amazing job making a video that compliments your music so well! Thanks for sharing this behind the scenes look! It's definitely a welcome change from the endless supply of quick-cut, shot in a warehouse music videos and animation that doesn't really fit the aesthetic of the music! Of course, Cronenberg is one of my favorite auteurs so I might be a bit biased...

[@Fire27hun]

I agree with everything you said, it's nice to see a well-produced video for a change. Those warehouse playthroughs are getting a bit stale now

[@CopterPirates]

agreed

[@yellowsaurus4895]

Totally agree; it perfectly fits the themes of the music without taking itself too seriously.

[@margidda5252]

there’s a shot like in the middle of one of (what i’m calling) The A.U.M. members, pulling the light towards Oli, and it’s so cool. Such a simple but dope shot, it goes with the tempo, and i love it

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

Definitely, now I need to watch it once again...

[@stevenlee7]

Oh thank fuck, I thought the head explosions in the music video were real. Glad everyone is okay. Love the breakdown vid!

[@ssi3262]

tf of course its not

[@spirameowmeow]

Of course, they are real! They brought them back through human murmuration.

[@JoshuaLTRyan]

the best thing about this is that the genesis is "heads explode". Can't wait to catch you all live. Excellent work, well done.

[@heaththedrummer666]

With all the gofundme’s to fight Tim Lambesis and troll other people, you forget how much of a sweetheart Oli is

[@CaptnShred]

This is my favorite death metal music video.

[@divinefallfromgrace]

The only thang I woulda changed is I would've had Spencer bleed gold blood, as it ties in with the lyrical concepts. "The Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy" made this for me 😄

[@andrewplatt7076]

I had a dream where I asked Tobi how man Kiesels he owns, and he said he has 38 Vaders. Good on you man!

[@mana20]

You guys went from a band I kind of knew about and enjoyed to the most anticipated album of the year for me. I ordered a few shirts and the snapback to show my support.

Being a diehard Cronenberg fan, I loved the video. Nice to see a behind the scenes for this. Can't wait to hear the album, been a fan since I first saw the band in Kamloops right around when All Shall Align dropped. Still hoping for a re-recording of Ghosts of Silent Tongue one day 🤞

[@psychogoreman198]

Really looking forward to this album!!

lmao when Tobi responds to the woman telling him that his skin is glowing. hahaha, "Oh Thanks!"

[@mathewlombardo3876]

i'm so glad you guys put forth the effort to make a serious music video with a story, some instrumentation, and of course the special effects!!! music video of the year, absolutely blew me away how on brand this is with Archspire's sound and style of metal.

[@Djfmdotcom]

I discovered your band because of this song/video. I'm a changed man. I don't know if it's for the better but I like it!

[@renatocann5142]

Yes haha so good! Man I've done lifecasting like that before it's def surreal, eyes and mouth are sealed, breathing through straws in your nose all that time, and the fear of messing it up makes it more intense haha

[@gregoryschreiter]

drone corpse aviator is my favorite video of 2021, nice work everyone

[@ThatRedHusky]

Practical effects are just, so good.

[@Luemm3l]

makes you appreciate awesome videos like this one eeven more seeing how much hard work and people are behind it. I still can't stop grinning everytime I see Oli in that 50 Cent pose coming down

[@KingJerbear]

This video is so damn cool. This is also the song that really kind of helped me to really delve deeper into this type of music, as it showcases a lot of the more "beautiful" sides of techdeath. As a guy who was always into Melodic Death metal, I always kind of wrote it off.

[@KadintheGuitarDude]

Damn this is some seriously high-quality BTS. Great video

[@JonnyJungle77]

The end result was outstanding, I've been watching it almost everyday since I saw the band live in Houston in April 2022.

[@TomColontonio]

I sent this song to a million people this weekend.. including my mom

[@samlindauer6705]

Cannot wait for october 29th!! Every track so far is FIRE!!🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘🤘

Never been more pumped to watch a BTS video like I am for this one. I can't stop watching it. Love it boys

[@DocBree13]

I’m not sure how The Sugar Plum Fairy fits into all of this… but I approve 😁

[@Sally-tj6rr]

What an amazing effort! So many cool people working for this masterpiece, the video is mind-blowing (no pun intended). Thank you Archspire for yet another awesome song, your music is out of this world. 😻

I was just thinking earlier today that it would be great if they released a behind-the-scenes for this video. That music video will be one that I go back to for many years, thanks for doing this!

Amazing! When they said lots of Easter eggs, I was glad because I thought I was tripping. There is a Hal 9000 guest appearance for like 1 second among other treasures for the discerning film fan.

Let's talk about gore and exploding heads over Bach Cello suite... that makes sense ! Seriously cool to have a BTS look for this video. Discovered the band about 1 month ago... been addicted since. Great work !

[@burbotburzum466]

Thank you for sharing this. It's hard to believe the director only had "5 or 6 years" of video experience. And it was strange to hear Oli speaking in a normal voice. You would never know he is a world class extreme metal vocalist.

[@BuddyLove1899]

This production is top notch the results are there to prove it. Well done, crew. Also, Inferi did kind of the same exploding/killing everyone in the band in their newest video, but in animation. If you guys haven't checked worth both video and song (the song is mesmeric horror)

Love this!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do a behind-the-scenes video! I believe I saw a Canon C model? I don’t know if it was the C300 or C100 or what… and the monitor looks like an Atomos, was that also the recorder? Are you recording in C-Log or ProRes or another format? And so many light modifiers I would love to hear the whole lighting breakdown.
