Nick Hearne and Ben Watkins co-direct an intense visual for hardcore metal band Cage Fight, where vocalist Rachel Aspe confronts an online tormentor. The video for Pig is a feverish trip through frantic performance and a nightmarish concept, calling out the creepy men who send women unsolicited messages online. A man in a pig mask, hiding behind his screen, is confronted with this online harrassment, made to face the consequences of his actions as his fantasy turns into a nightmare. "PIG is the expression of my disgust of men sending unsolicited intimate pictures, messages, crossing boundaries and harassing women digitally," says Aspe."I’ve had hundreds over the years, and it’s crazy to think that everyday women regularly get these messages. I just wanted to scream my hatred to them, raise awareness of the issue and show solidarity to other women who experience this abuse.”Using overlays of real messages sent to Rachel, and other woman who volunteered their experiences, it's a sobering yet cathartic promo which feels powerful and timely.

Grajper directs a moonlit, surrealist fantasy for The Last Dinner Party. The video for Count The Ways finds the group in the middle of a model village, performing as a montage of illusory vignettes play out on screen. Imbued with unearthly, liminal vibes, it's a striking concept and one that fits perfectly within the offbeat videography the group has built over the last couple of years. Everything is familiar, but [the world] is too small, too artificial, too perfect."The heart of the song is about love, heartbreak, and the refusal to accept that something beautiful has ended," Grajper explains. "It’s about being trapped in grief, circling around loss, and being unable to move forward."For TLDP, that emotional space feels like being locked in a prison that is invisible yet everywhere, a cage built out of memories and feelings. That’s why the miniature park is such a powerful starting point. It’s a world that is at once charming and eerie. Everything is familiar, but it’s too small, too artificial, too perfect."When we place our heroine in this world she instantly becomes estranged from it: she is either too large for the space, breaking out of it, or she’s wandering through its streets like a ghost who doesn’t belong."

Jianbo slips between diferent realities in Charles Copsey's stylish and slick visual for None Of Us.In the latest in a series of impressive visuals for the London-based rapper, Jainbo plays three characters. The pivot is a victim of gangland torture who's mind splinters into fragments of his personality - a mean gangster and gambler and happy-go-lucky, blue-haired pop star.In his struggle to fight back against his captors, we get a glimpse of the kaleidoscopic identities and traits that together form the artist that is Jianbo. And the smart concept allows Copsey and his team to build a convincing world for the story, as environments are reconfigured to suit each character.

Jean Estene directs a powerful live promo for Sylar Simone. When a song speaks to the power of being seen and loved for who you truly are, the visuals need to hold that same honesty. This live performance video for Pedestal, directed by Estene with creative direction by Sarah Dattani Tucker, does exactly that - capturing cinematic elegance grounded in real emotion.Taking place in a clean industrial setting with plenty of natural light, Simone sits atop a small pillar, the other musicians surrounding her as she performs.A wonderful piece, playing with composition, structure and cinematography to create an absorbing viewing experience.
