From the director:
"Working with the lyrics and with Efthimis conceptual guidance, I set up a vast backdrop of space and time for our characters to inhabit, incorporating various planetary and astronomical elements. The characters include mythical deities such as Gaia, Prometheus, Venus / Pandora, as well as Astron Black, who symbolises mankind and its progress through time.
The video also incorporates Pandora's myth from Hesiod's Theogony. Gaia gives birth to stars and deities, to Prometheus. Prometheus stole the fire (also a metaphor for knowledge and practical thought) and gave it to man. Zeus punished Prometheus by binding him to a rock where the great eagle would come and eat his intestines every day. As an act of revenge on mankind, he creates Pandora, the first woman. Here we present Venus Pandora, who also posseses the power of sexual desire over man. Her curiosity proves fatal, as she opens the urn bestowed to her by the Gods, unleashing all evils upon mankind, leaving only hope inside.
The style of the video brings together various elements such as stylish costumes, live action footage and CGI, adding a modern approach to the ancient but timeless imagery of our characters and situations. I truly believe that once again we managed to successfully recreate and enhance the lyrical and musical themes and create something unique that will stand the test of time stylistically."

  • malakies

  • Weird symbolic video.

  • So...a heavy metal ad for condoms? :D

  • I find this easy to masturbate to.

  • He doesnt ejaculate from his belly button, it's his divine essence that is coming out. As a punishment for his deed, Prometheus was eternally bound to a rock by Zeus (hence the electric shackles) and the great Eagle came each day to feed on him.

    Pyramid hands= style

    Sparkly bum= is that even a question? :)

    Also, no LSD or Salvia was taken during filming, natural high

  • Actually, not warblade, it's tribute to the intro from Space Odyssey :)

    The characters are retrofuturistic mythological interpretations:

    Astron Black = Manifestation of Mankind's progress through the ages

    Prometheus= God who gave fire and knowledge to men

    Gaia= Goddess of fertility, gave birth to stars and Gods (including Prometheus)

    Venus/Pandora= Zeus revenge towards Mankind for acquiring fire (from Hesiod's Theogony).

  • Read the video description to learn more - it's modern interpretations of mythological characters.

  • 0:03 beginning of warblade

  • I don't even...

  • so many questions! why does she have a sparkly bum? why does he ejaculate from his belly button? why pyramid hands?
