Coil's "Horse Rotorvator" album was always a big musical and lyrical influence for Adam L. and Acid Ice Flows. This is a song that Acid Ice Flows did years ago, as homage to Johnn Balance's passing. Now with Peter Sleazy Christopherson's recent death Coil's current incarnation has ceased to exist. It was decided to pay homage again, this time in visual form. Peter was not only a brilliant musician, but he also enjoyed using video as an art form, so hopefully this does justice to him, even if only slightly as it's difficult for anyone to measure up to legends.
Adam L.'s interpretation has always seen the original song from a very violent perspective. The original sounds extremely vicious, as if the hatred is barely contained, and the accompanying instruments bray in a harsh manner throughout the piece, goading the listener and hurling musical insults in their face. As a result, Acid Ice Flows covered and re-purposed the song musically and now visually in the most disgusting and vile manner possible.
That guy's teeth are too white and straight to be a bad ass. That showcase prized mouth smacks of braces and private school. Seriously, I like most of this band's music and I loved the videos in Embrace the Ground, Fade, and Gravel. However, this video flatly sucks. F the cover tunes too. Do your own thing. Just my 2 cents. The guy on this video looks more constipated and confused than angry, disturbed, or frightening.

@vanyortie Well each to his own. I don't have many videos where it actually shows me in them. Since I got a new camcorder I've been messing around with it. I have fun with music and videos, and I guess that's all that really matters. It's not like I'm doing this for a living. I chuckled at your teeth comment though haha. I spar doing a lot of boxing and kickboxing, so I guess my teeth have been lucky considering how many times I've been punched in the face.
