News : Balloons Kill Babies unveil new single + tour dates

By on September 26, 2017

Brisbane based progressive metal outfit, Balloons Kill Babies have unveiled the new single ‘Feb 25’, taken from their new EP Prodromal. The video is an awe-inspiring piece of cinematography which is the first part of a short film series called the Devil May Care trilogy. Check it out below.

The EP Prodromal is released this Friday. We strongly recommend you check it out! Click here to head to the band’s official Bandcamp page and start streaming.

The video for Feb 25 is a collaborative effort between Shots For Bands (Luke McClean) and Jonathan Creed, the creator of the Devil May Care trilogy. It’s the official music video for the Devil May Care short film trilogy – which follows the rise and fall of Ryan O’Connor, the unwilling heir to a violent Irish mafia syndicate. In a trilogy of short films, each covering a different genre of cinema, Ryan is pulled back into a life he ran from as a child and each film covers the events that follow and the damage he inflicts along the way. Depressed and lonely hitman Jack Layendeckers goes on a suicide mission to avenge the death of Olivia, a high class prostitute that he fell in love with during a one night stand at the hands of a fallen Ryan O’Connor. Occurring after he failed to save Olivia and before his suicide mission, Jack retreats to a nature walk by the sea. Tormented by her memory, she haunts him at every turn, appearing around every corner wearing the same red dress from the night they first met. Further and further into the woods he goes, trying desperately to outrun her and his guilt until finally he collapses and breaks down.

Guitarist for the band, Twiggy Carter, said of the clip, “Basically Luke filmed the trilogy and wanted to use the music video to add a little more, Jonathan and BKB were on board with the idea of a collaboration straight away. We were able to sneak a few of our ideas into the video but it was all basically Luke’s vision using our music and Jonathan’s characters. We couldn’t be happier with the result, Luke really took this on as a passion project and put the work in to make sure not just all three parties were happy with the outcome, but that it turned out to be something visually stunning.”
