The Red Paintings premiere new video

Art rockers The Red Paintings have premiered the video for their new single ‘It Is As It Was‘ exclusively on Kerrang!

Dark and engaging, the ‘It Is As It Was‘ video is a electrifying glimpse into the world of The Red Paintings that showcases the signature artistic elements of their live shows alongside the track taken from their critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Revolution Is Never Coming‘.

The Red Paintings are a five-piece group (guitar, violin, cello, bass and drums) whose sound evokes everything from child-like lullabies of the future, to tearing, biting, alternative-rock numbers. Their appeal reaches baroque-pop steam-punks, metal-heads, indie-rock fanatics, and beyond. The band incorporate multimedia performance art in to their live shows and seek submissions from local artists who paint onstage in real time. With costumes, conceptual stage shows, live painting and human canvases their performance combines sound and visuals to create an experience that stimulates the senses and minds of the audience.

‘The Revolution Is Never Coming’ was 5 years in the making and features a 35-piece orchestra, 22-piece choir and more across 13 tracks of biting, futuristic alternative rock. Recorded and mixed with the late Bryan Carlstrom (Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie) in world-class studios around the globe, the band raised donations from fans to create their vision.
