Italian-British band Prescription Happiness collaborate with director AVM - aka Andy Mihov - for a second time, on the&nbsp;music video for&nbsp;Something Decays.&nbsp;Against bold coloured backdrops, we see the band perform whilst the lyrics show up on screen.&nbsp;"The band asked me not to be beholden to any tropes for dark rock/metal music videos and I was happy to oblige," Mihov explains.&nbsp;And Mihov asked the band to perform bare-chested to expose their vulnerability, both as people and artists, in both a physical and emotional sense.&nbsp;"They were self-conscious at first, but we worked together to find that electricity between them and the track," he continues.&nbsp;"It was really pleasurable to work on a video where the driving forces were the raw energy of the track and the performance of the band."&nbsp;&nbsp;The post-production was handled by a motion graphics designer in Puerto Rico, with&nbsp;former Rocksteady cinematic artist&nbsp;Mark Maxwell creating the Shadow Presences which&nbsp;haunt the lead singer at the end of the video.

Andy Mihov directs an exhilarating&nbsp;promo for London-based deathcore band She Must Burn.&nbsp;After a line-up change and a temporary hiatus, the group wanted the music video for new single Incantation&nbsp;to be strikingly different.&nbsp;The compelling concept is given an equally as exciting visual treatment, taking inspiration from films such as&nbsp;Francis Ford Coppola’s&nbsp;Dracula.&nbsp;Explosive in more ways than one, it's a unique and refreshing idea with plenty of memorable moments."I like trying to do unusual things when working on metal music videos." Mihov explains.&nbsp;"I'm a huge fan of hip hop and pop rap, and I kind of always look to that world for inspiration. For some reason, the image I had in my head was of vampires and muscle cars. It was just a scene of this ancient vampire who has survived since the days of Carthage and now roams the world in a Cadillac, kidnapping humans and breaking their spirit before making them her thralls.”"Teaming up with long-time collaborators Tom Watts, Millie Ansari, and Terry Palamara, we set off to tell this story," continues Mihov.&nbsp;"Terry and I developed a precise palette for each scene, in which different colours would predominate in different sections of the video. I carried a big notebook around that was earmarked for each scene – everything from composition, styling, and cinematography. Even the vampires’ robes – designed by the amazing Tia Oguri were evocative of traditional African patterns – calling to the vampire’s ancient origins."It was an incredible pleasure to work with Teta Maria, who is a London-based international performer with the Fuel Girls. She brought so much personality and attitude to the role of the Vampire. The fire scene at the end of the day was entirely her idea. I think Tom and I still growing back parts of our eyebrows." &nbsp;

Andy Mihov cycles back to create an enhanced edition of a previous promo for&nbsp;Esprit D'air's Leviathon.&nbsp;The video&nbsp;tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world, ravaged by pandemics, where an AI seeks to break free from her abusive creator and help humankind.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]"The original shoot was challenging. We had to bounce back from a few hiccups and the turnaround was brutal." Mihov mentions."We didn't really have time to play with things. When the dust settled, we were incredibly pleased with the result and the feedback was phenomenal. But we continued to toy with the idea of what more we could do.&nbsp;Forming a team across the UK, France and even Taiwan, Mihov expanded the story and added some additional graphics and visual effects work to the piece.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:2]"I'm incredibly grateful to the amazing team that stuck by me throughout it all. Leviathan 2.0 re-envisions our story, modernizes and definitely pushes it further into the realm of sci-fi fantasy."Leviathan 2.0: Enhanced Edition was released to mark the release of Esprit D'Air's second studio album Oceans.

Matt Harris-Freeth directs a quirky cinematic ocean voyage for British Folk group The Longest Johns.The video is set to the band's&nbsp;own&nbsp;version of Wellerman, which went viral on TikTok in 2020 and kicked off a global interest in sea shanties.Shot on location along the Jurassic Coast, the video sees the band deliver a wry performance, living in comfort on the deck of a sailing vessel and passing their time in various ways. They await&nbsp;the arrival of the Wellerman, a ship that will bring much-needed provisions.DoP&nbsp;Sarah Smither creates a cinematic and vibrant aesthetic through the use of anamorphic lenses and sweeping drone shots,&nbsp;capturing the atmosphere and textures of the nautical setting, whilst&nbsp;elevating the surreal, anachonistic vibes of the concept.

Andy Mihov creates a&nbsp;near-future dystopian melodrama, with echoes of classic mythology and gothic horror, for the London-based Japanese metal outfit&nbsp;Esprit D'Air.The story revolves around Athena, the creation of AI genius Theodora, who is kept from the outside world and desires the freedom to be an individual in her own right. Mihov creates an absorbing twist upon a&nbsp;classic narrative, intercut with the Esprit D'Air frontman Kai's passionate performance of the bombastic Leviathan.&nbsp;&nbsp;

You've heard of punk rock. Now try 'thug baroque'. Andy Mihov's video for band Diamond Black is an elegant, wide-eyed slant on the Eros myth.Ryan Davies Hall stars as Eros, son of Aphrodite and the personification of sexual desire, and Katrina Lilwall stars as Psyche, who is subjugated, murdered, then freed. This ancient story is rendered luxuriously by DoP Tom Watts, who borrows baroque compositions and and chiaroscuro lighting from Renaissance painters Caravaggio and Titian.

The Marshall Darlings drop&nbsp;Birmingham&nbsp;indie pop band&nbsp;Swim Deep into&nbsp;an episode of this bizarre&nbsp;80&#39;s Saturday-evening game show, Don&#39;t Like Yours Much, hosted by Paul Daniels. Much silliness ensues in the clip, with a cranky and&nbsp;contentious show host that decidedly doesn&#39;t play fair.&nbsp;
