See, THIS is how to make a creepy video in 2020 - no severed heads or dead goats or brutality; just terrifying mass surveillance and quiet sad human self destruction, and as others have also mentioned an eerie contrast to the freedom and hope of the Starfall video - Excellently done!

[@holidaycomplex]

starfall felt quite sad as well. it felt more like being a speck of dust infront of a mind boggling force. in that way this video is quite similar as well

[@johnplant4567]

Creepy, indeed, that's life to its fullest, don't need a one song, or video for it, nah, need to just look in the mirror. Well as a rarest of all "christians", I tell you, you and I, we're the very problem. Let it come to pass, as it must. Red river, rivers of blood, those are most likely the times ahead!

[@johnplant4567]

As such, that being said, in WORDS?! And WORDS BEING DEFINED!? RED RIVER, LET DEATH CONSUME MANKIND ONCE AND FOR ALL!

[@ukko8457]

@@johnplant4567 humans are not the problem, if you are a problem then you are, but you can't speak on behalf of everyone, the problem is psychopaths in power, not humankind as a whole, need to remember that.

[@aluap6337]

It's funny how only when China does it, it's considered creepy real dystopic shit, when UK has a higher level scale of mass surveillance, but they're never so vilified like asian countries are.

[@anamarkovic4165]

The suffocating sense of surveillance in Red River juxtaposed against the magical solitude of Starfall. This is 2020, sonically and visually. Thank you Salem.

[@cyrilchameau4893]

When I listen to SALEM I just feel in another world. But when I watch their videoclips I realise how aware they are of the world we're living in. This, as much as the King Night clip are so true and so poetic. Well I'm saying "they", I should say "you" ; hope you guys will read it, you're my favorit band ever. Peace on you Although we really miss Heather

This track combined with the video perfectly delivers a picture of the apathy and coldness in todays modern societies.

[@postmodernismadvancement6793]

Simply masterful, a sublime piece within a lost and blinded society. Manipulated and molded as they want ... Great job SALEM, the avant-garde of mystical melody

@@mironbashelutskov5116 what do you mean any context ? it was written in interviews on press releases and everything when the album came out he helped them fitness the project into what it is and achieve that quality of sound , mike dean etc etc that was thanks to him not 100% sure on the accuracy of the story cause I do not know these people obviously but shit ain't untrue 100% ;)

[@alexsasha5306]

Hope all album will be with this vibe❤️

[@Tigerseye41]

At first, I thought it was just a bunch of detached chilling images, but after a second watch, I realise that the composition of this video is actually incredible. It tells a coherent story through imagery, starting with an overview of the city, which makes you feel uneasy, and a big broad river which represents the metaphorical red river. Then the first shot is of some people emerging from a place, and center is a woman who doesn't know which way she's going. She looks left and then right, uncertainly, before finally heading off. I could go on, there's a lot of detail and care in every shot, but the general overview is that after that, it shows mass surveilance in public places, reminding the viewer of the original purpose of such technology. Then it shows some of the consequences; first, how it enables people to be tracked through all the shady parts of their lives... Second, how it doesn't really fix any of the problems with society, by showing all those people littering and the eels in tanks suffering... thirdly and most chillingly, there's a section near the end where it shows a variety of normal looking people - an old, crippled man, a middle-aged couple, a young family - being tracked and monitored. The viewer is left to wonder what the nameless monitoring entity's intentions towards them are. Of course, one hardly needs to explain the significance of the collapsed shipping crates. It's all brilliant. Best music video I've ever seen.

i cant stop listening

[@thunfischmitabbelschorle]

One of the best music videos of all time. Total mass surveillance, dissolution of individuals, tech controlling people. The line "hanging and flying too close to the sun" fits perfect in the picture of the icarus-esque apocaliptical world created by humans, that went to far with technology. So fucking evil.

Same. Its that realistic, dystopian depiction of an industrial, gritty, dirty future mixed with modern technology and surveillance that becomes our reality... Instead of that utopian, clean, shiny idea of the future.
