Guitarist Nishad George on the video:
“For ‘Ultraviolence’ we wanted to make a video that represents one of the reoccurring themes Alex sings about on Home which is the war between the ears. To visually depict this, I wanted to emphasize the physical, emotional, and intellectual breakdown that happens when you lose the battle against yourself.
We made a screenplay influenced by The Most Dangerous Game, but set in the inner forest, with each remaining bandmate representing one the aforementioned three aspects of humanity. This was incredibly hard to film as Alex put himself in a LOT of physical danger to pull it off. We hope you enjoy it.”
The group have also confirmed appearances at a handful of European festivals. The performances are set to take place let this month; see the dates below. Vocalist Alexander Richichi about coming to Europe:
“Since our teens, we (THE OFFERING) have heard rumors about the majesty of the European metal scene. Like a myth – stories of the grandness and the abundance of fans of the European festivals travel across the Atlantic to us, mocking us and reminding us that our scene is lacking. THE OFFERING is humbly grateful for the opportunity to travel to historic festivals to play and share our art. This is a dream for most, if not every metal musician. We recognize our opportunity and will do everything to make it the best for you, our listeners. Let’s have some fun.”
