Filmed on location in strategically assigned areas across southern Nevada, the music video features a compelling storyline with stunning edits, picturesque settings and visuals, presented at an adrenaline bursting pace.

“The song has so many dramatic moments both musically and lyrically,” stated Ed Fassio founder of the group’s management firm (Itchy Metal Entertainment) and band manager. “In order to capture the essence of the band, the genre’s branding and the tonal elements of the song, we needed strong direction and fresh artistic elements. For this reason, we chose to collaborate and embrace a partnership with Hartley Entertainment Group for our debut. David and Daniel’s visual interpretation of this song is just an amazing display of revitalized cinematography. This project looks to rebirth the importance of creating relevant roles for music video through developed characters and relevant storyline. We wanted something revolutionary and this sets the bar very high.”
