Shinedown 'Dead Don't Die' by Lewis Cater
Rob Ulitski - 26th Jan 2023
Lewis Cater directs a minacious promo for Shinedown, where under the ominous surveillance of an unspecified evil, the US rock band look fear straight in the eye.
The video for Dead Don't Die jumps between a rowdy performance section in an ornate structure, and enigmatic vignettes with frontman Brett, where various weapons and objects hang mid-air, threatening to break through and injure him - but unable to do so.
It's a thrilling addition to both the band and Cater's videography, and packed full of filmic moments and great performances.
"We shot the video for Dead Don’t Die straight after the band’s Wembley headline show last month," Cater says. "It was a special shoot as it was the first time that the band had shot a video outside of United States.
"It’s a video about resilience, the strong-willed, the bend but never break human spirit. The power of the mind is extraordinary. The band use their strength within to control the darkness and retreat to a more positive space.
"We follow Brent (Shinedown's frontman) as he is pursued by an unspecified evil. He passes by each band member as they use their energy to control a moment of wickedness. Brent is then confronted. Using MoCo, we had bullets build up around Brent. The power of his mind pushes to the forefront as the bullets are suspended. After overcoming each of their obstacles, the band are united for one final test."
