Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett & FX Goby direct a super ambitious promo for new track Silent Running, featuring Adeleye Omotayo.The video is a rip-roaring clash of live action and seamless CGI, and sees the other members of the band help 2-D escape an unfortunate fate. Building upon the narrative arc of the upcoming album - in which the group are spiralling towards a day of reckoning called The Rupture - the video is an inspired mix of Disney fantasy and cult-like horror, which sits well within the greater Gorillaz canon. It's a big achievement, well worth all of the attention it is getting.

Luke Losey directs a micro-budget occult pantomime for Orbital, featuring Mediaeval Baebes.The video for Ringa Ringa features a menagerie of woodland creatures doing dance routines, in quite possibly the strangest video you'll see all week. Nightmarishly upbeat, the video plays with a dichotomy of haunting imagery and bold primary colours, creating an otherworldly aesthetic that you won't be able to look away from - even if you might want to. Uniquely macabre and absolutely consuming.

Mike James questions the idea of a higher power in his thought-provoking video for Manhattan Murder Mystery. The visual for Bodybag follows a religious group who congregate in a small, nondescript complex, and follow frontman Matthew Teardrop through a series of unusual vignettes. The underlying message of the visual questions the cult-like aspects of some religious sects, and where our place in the world lies within these hierarchies, and is visualised with a vintage-styled, rough and ready aesthetic.

Director Oscar Sansom delivers another striking visual work for Biffy Clyro, this time in the form of a ten-minute long concept encapsulating two tracks. The first segment of the video is a paint-drenched performance concept, featuring the group in an industrial warehouse, playing whilst kicking, throwing and splattering blue paint everywhere. The second part of the video takes a more abstract, surreal turn, narratively exploring a cult-like group in the forest, with glitchy vignettes of people running away, circling the group and the appearance of enigmatic black squares floating in the atmosphere. A regular collaborator with the band, Oscar has created a truly striking work here which features some incredible visual moments, intriguing storytelling, and explosive (and at times extremely messy) band performance.

Jack Lilley explores repression and freedom, in the offbeat promo for MarthaGunn's Holding The Fire.Tinged with a sense of eerie foreboding. the video tells the story of a woman stuck in a 70s cult whose worship revolves around completing mindless repetitive tasks. She slowly becomes aware that she wants out, and we see her plan her escape and the fallout of her absence. Anchored by excellent performances from each member of the band, the concept is pitch-perfect, blending humour, elevated horror and nostalgic naivety.

Taisia Deeva directs a terrifying tale of blind faith in her stunning video for German producer Paul Kalkbrenner's Part Twelve. In the video, we are witnessing the life of a totalitarian community living in an isolated place after the death of their patriarch. While all the male members are allowed to leave the place and build a new life, female members are expected to commit a collective suicide in order to join their leader journey in the afterlife.This is an engrossing study of character and human behaviour, and the grim impact of the phenomenon of the religious cult. Without referencing an historical case, Deeva makes her community, and its hierarchy, eminently believable.Shot in Kiev, Deeva and DoP Daniel Obradovic utilises the cast, location with its boundless scenery, abundant daylight with great skill, to create a cinematic flavour that matches the concept perfectly.
