The video was created by students at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia enrolled in the Bachelor of Design (Animation & Interactive Media) Programme. The team, led by producers Aaron McLoughlin and Simon Norton, spend approximately 3,000 hours creating the clip. Comments the band:
“We’re delighted to announce that we’ve now got an animated video from RMIT University, and we have to say, it’s fantastic. It’s an incredible visual firework that matches our song, ‘A World of Pain’ which is probably the most brutal song on the last album. It’s always fun to play it live. It’s very different from what we’ve ever done before. Have fun watching it!”
McLoughlin adds:
“Our first impression of the track was how epic the raw emotion sounded, so we really wanted to convey that sense of scale. As always, the talented RMIT animation students never fail to impress, and they conceived this brutal off-world setting where big things occur. The concept art was so fantastic, we immediately knew we must incorporate lots of visual effects with the hand-drawn animation, much more than we’d ever done previously. I’m super proud of the result – it’s a planet-crushing track and the team worked countless hours to visualize the power of Warmen!”
