Awesome that I found this! I was one of the extras in the ballroom dancing scene. This was filmed in the summer of 1997 in a historic building that was abandoned at the time, on College Street just west of University. It was a scorching hot summer day, so we constantly had to have our faces dabbed from the perpetually running make-up ;-) If I remember correctly, the video release party was held a few months later at the Velvet Underground. I'm still waiting for my VHS copy, haha.
@beboplulala Thanx for info about this Baudelaire poem. I guess it wasn't only Victorians who craved for deadly sex encounters of the third kind with fangy midnight mistresses, on the other side of the channel it seems the same happened. Anyway it fits the song quite well.
@CyberpunkVideodrome The Vampire (Poem by Charles Baudelaire) Thou who, like a dagger thrust, Entered my complaining soul; Thou who, potent as a host Of demons, came, wild, beautiful, To make my heart cast on the ground Into your bed and your domain; -Wretch infamous to who I'm bound like the convict too the chain, The stubborn gambler to his dice, The drunkard to his revelry, The carrion to worms and lice, -Cursed, cursed may Thou be! (...)
(...) I implored the rapid sword To secure my liberty, I asked the poison I abhorred To succour my timidity, Alas! the poison and the sword Only showed contempt for me: 'You deserve not the reward Of freedom from your slavery, Fool! - if our resolution Saved you from its sovereignty, You would kiss alive again The Vampire's tenement of clay!
This is the same Masochistic Religion I remember from Toronto isn't it? "Beyond the Gates of Hell" radio show? Never saw this back in the day, well done.
Hi, I am Lucero, the director and I want to apologise with you because I never contacted the people who worked on the video and gave them a copy. Please forgive me!!! I don´t think I have a copy myself! jaja. I will be around TO next year and I promise to write to you again and somehow give you a copy with the credits and all. my sincere apologies.

Great! the music... and the visuals were pretty advanced for the time (altough cliché nowadays). Does someone have the lyrics to this?
