Heavy alternative quartet Spectral bring their charismatic track 'Saints Of Excess' to life in the enchanting setting of a Victorian theatre. The video celebrates creativity and 'otherness' with talented artists featuring acts utilizing a bed of nails and knife juggling, alongside the band's performance.
"I'm not usually one to be guided by 'gut feelings', but when Kelly proposed doing a theatrical shoot at a small venue in Sheffield, I just knew that it was the right thing to do and we were going to end up with something very special! It certainly helped that we've built a network of super talented/lovely people who were all able to buy into the vision and make it so much more than the sum of its parts.
One of our aims was to have a really diverse range of performances and also aesthetic within the audience to give that feeling of being at a show and I think we achieved that.
Something that I think that comes through is how much fun and how effortless the day felt - often videos can be a challenge due to timescales and things going wrong which causes stress and and impacts the end product. In this case though everything came together nicely and it was a lovely day with wonderful people.
We hope you have as much fun watching it as we had in making it!" - Fletch
Spectral's enchanting sound is comprised of catchy hooks drawn from the realms of pop and alt rock, enticing electronics, and fierce guitars, all fueled with emotion from Clark Kelly's powerful vocals. Working with JJ Catalyst (Mothica, Hollywood Undead, The Rose, Kelsy Karter & The Heroines) and Ruairi O’Flaherty (Lana Del Rey, Paramore, Kendrick Lamar, Pale Waves), Spectral conjure a thrilling combination of riffs and pop sensibilities. The band have recently unveiled their debut EP, 12:12.
