awesome
never thought i'd see a shriekback video. sweet!
Priests, cannibals, and all the other widdly bits we know and love
There are a handful of Shriekback videos floating around out there, but this one is—by far— the best. Not only does it have a wonderful, lo-tech vibe to lend it an air of honest authenticity rarely seen in today's million dollar mega-videos, it is notable for doing something no sane person has any right to expect: it captures the writhing essence of a Shriekback song in all of its weird, watery, cyclopean, dystopian glory. Essentially, we find Barry Andrews delivering his lyric via the most deliciously sublime facial contortions, while the rest of the band assume the role of a toga wearing, occasionally masked Greek chorus, belting out the much-loved "hooligan refrain" in a classical posture of rhetorical address. All in all, a wonderfully evocative little mini-movie that does everything you would expect an end-times anthem like Nemesis to do.
