Mortiis Reveals New Video for ‘The Shining Lamp of God’

Mortiis has launched a new video for the track ‘The Shining Lamp of God’, taken from the new album ‘The Great Deceiver’ penned for release via Omnipresence on 4th March.

This is the second single from the forthcoming Mortiis album. The video continues the story that the first single/video ‘Doppelgänger’ started. Directed by Robyn Van Swank and Nick Plotguin, ‘The Shining Lamp of God’ is equally rife with graphic images, bringing to life the internal struggles and demons that the song’s lyrics tackle as well as metaphorically using religious symbols to convey an inner anger toward others’ selfishness so deep that one fails to see their own ego centrists behaviours.

Mortiis comments: “We made two videos, although they were shot as one, ‘The Shining Lamp of God’ is another chapter – same place, same hellhole, just escalated, I suppose.. It never real ends…”

About Louise Swift

I first went to a gig in 1981, Gillan at Leeds University. I've been a regular gig goer ever since. I haven't kept count of how many gigs I've been to over the intervening years, but it's a lot! My favourite bands are AC/DC then, in no particular order, Anti-Nowhere League, Slaughter and the Dogs, Towers of London and Dirt Box Disco. I tend to like Glam/Punk and rude offensive lyrics, not sure what that says about me but as Animal would say 'So What!' The question was recently put to me - did I write for any online publications? My reply - No, but I'd like to! Planetmosh was suggested and I found myself offering to review Aces High Festival. Easy peasy I thought! Well not quite, if a jobs worth doing it's worth doing well! I had sixteen bands to research. I found I actually enjoyed that and it kept me too busy to be making lunatic comments on Facebook! ;) Then I felt a bit inadequately qualified. I mean, who am I to comment on others, when my musical expertise extends to being able to play a mean Greensleeves on the recorder and a passable Annie's song on the flute! Haven't picked up either instrument for years! What I do have, however, is over 30 years of experience as a gig goer, so I can comment on what I like and what I don't! It's only my opinion and, if I don't like a band it doesn't mean they are bad, just not to my own liking. I admire anyone who has the guts to get up on that stage and have a go!
