Extremely awesome! I love this music video! And you guys are local band all the way from Cape Town? I love seeing a female vocal in a metal band, it's been my dream forever. Respect!
Interested to know if Richard Stanley is involved in this, or just commenting in passing? He's one of my favourite directors of all time. The 5-disc set of 'Dust Devil' is one of my most treasured DVDs.
Killer quote on the Terminatryx "Virus" music video from Richard Stanley (writer/director of Hardware and Dust Devil): "Once in every generation a plague shall fall upon you! 'Virus' by Terminatryx delivers a bone crushing, gut munching, spine tingling, supersonic blow to the cerebral cortex. Metal, mayhem and no holds barred lycanthropy. What more could you ask for?"
We're proud to announce that "Virus" won Best Music Clip at the 2011 Barossa Film Festival, Australia, and was officially selected (together with the short film version "Marked") at the Salt Lake City International Horror Film Festival.
Why, oh why haven't I watched this earlier? Paul, this video is absolutely amazing. Defenitely one of the best, if not THE best South African music videos I have seen to date. Awesome to the extreme.
My thoughts: Band looks awesome, just a GREAT look period. The music is nice and heavy, reminds me of the metal I grew up with! The video just owns! But its not all good, the song itself sucks. It doesnt grab or hook you at all. It feels tame and all to familiar. Nothing new, nothing exciting. It lacks the punch that the music and the video have in spades. Still all in all this was enough to get me to check out what else this band has to offer. Good stuff (mostly).
Well done video, but the director needed to cul some real performances out of the musicians. It's a bit lackluster there, but the production values look great, and all the post color stuff and fx look really really good too.
@shootitinthehead Hiya, thanks for the feedback - point taken. Although we try to keep it understated and not to go artificially nuts to make it seem like we're really playing our asses off. Furthermore it would be a jump from wild activity to sudden more static in order for the audience to see the cool scar make-up FX punch-line towards the end. It also balances the werewolf transformation activity.
@TheNoobKiller "MARKED", the short film version of the TERMINATRYX - "Virus" music video made it's world premiere at the 2011 X FEST Film Festival, 5 August - XFEST.org
I heared a lot of different kinds of music... but this song is crap... the lyrics may be good but the singing is horrible... even most Blackmetal singer got a better voice Oo
FUCKING AWESOME PAUL... GREAT SONG, GREAT DIRECTING ON YOUR PART... AWESOME SONG, AWESOME VIDEO, AND I HOPE YOU TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM... I'M BLOWN AWAY WITH YOUR GUITAR PLAYING... THE BAND IS TIGHT, THE SONG, VIDEO EVERYTHING IS BEYOND WORDS... GREAT JOB BUDDY...
While you cannot appease the many YouTube armchair Leonard Maltins, -Mozarts, -Stanley Kubricks and -Shakespeare's out there, the Seattle International Film Festival has requested our production...
@TERMINATRYX - and the TERMINATRYX "Virus" video was requested by the Sci-Fi London Film Festival, chosen to feature on EerieTube. com, and is the first South African band to have a video featured on the European Metal TV channel LoudTV. net
its.......ugh...........theres some bands that think lyrics are good on paper, but they dont realize it SOUNDS horrible once its off the paper. the music is good......hmm.....maybe just edit out all the words
@Schlumpffuhrer As mentioned, it's supposed to be a "music video". But hey, compared to two successful cult flicks, not bad! (Although, there are no wet Eastern girls or hairy basketball games).
@dustsnorter : the title of this clip is [ TERMINATRYX "Virus" (uncensored) ]. perhaps as the title would suggest, it is a music video for a group called terminatryx and I would presume the song is called "Virus".

@dustsnorter : the title of this clip is [ TERMINATRYX "Virus" (uncensored) ]. perhaps as the title would suggest, it is a music video for a group called terminatryx and I would presume the song is called "Virus".
