Whitechapel has recently released a music video for their song “Bring Me Home”, which is a part of the band’s recent album Mark of The Blade.
The song is a tribute to Phil Bozeman’s, the front man, father and this video explores the front man’s feelings of loss, grief and overcoming a tough time. The video was directed and shot by Mathis Arnell, from MyChildren MyBride, and shows scenes of a father and a son going on an adventure.
According to the press release, Phil Bozeman had the following to say about the video:
“This video means more to me than any video we’ve ever done. It portrays my struggle through dealing with my dad’s death at the age of 10. The shots of me show me at my darkest moments. Suicidal thoughts, suicide note and feeling alone. The atmosphere of the room we shot this is nailed exactly how I was feeling at the time. Dark, depressed and suicidal. The shots of the man and young boy portray my bond I had with my dad and how devastated I was when he left. They are presented to be in a dream like state of me remembering him. The last shot is from my dad and mom’s actual gravesite. It’s really awesome to have that authenticity to the video. The final scene is showing that I came out of it alive but no matter what, I will push forward and not give up.”
With the release of Mark of The Blade, the band had set out to play at the Monster Energy Aftershock, with bands like Avenged Sevenfold and Korn, that took place last week.
