Ok Ok...A lotta constructive criticism for the band..Take it and improve on it or just friggin ignore it...Your call: Music was too raw (may be good may not...double edge sword) but it sounded amatuer to the core. Damn, if you're gonna spend money making a video, spend some money on better recording equipment too. On the performance: Overall energy was low and the performance looked a little too overdone by the vocalist. BTW, this is a friggin hard-rock number, so the band has to look the part. Only the vocalist could've passed for a metal-head while the others looked like they just came for the video shoot straight outta the office. Wardrobe department is NEEDED here. However, I see that the guitarist has potential but lacks behind in terms of technology (guitar effects), using the gadgets to make the music more filling and belting out solos that are both powerful where one can feel the rift. The lyrics of the song made no sense whatsoever and specially with music that is totally unedited and rough, the whole song is a noise that is neither distorted correctly not can one feel the energy that a heavy number should bring about. Finally, the last scene when the vocalist breaks the guitar, why are the other just standing with blank expression in their faces? They look like they're at the police station and a witness is trying to figure her rapist out. Get some life into you...This is a hard hitting number that you should make the audience/viewers connect to. If you act like a dead fish, we will just not buy it that you're metal-heads (probably meat-heads after this video). PS: Why wa the model doing a techno dance series when this song should have her in head-banging mode?? Samsara's Overall Rating: C-/D+
