Coheed And Cambria have released the video below for their single “Ladders Of Supremacy“. The video was directed and animated by Darin Vartanian (Pix3lface), and was inspired by Chase Stone‘s art on the band’s latest album Vaxis – Act II: A Window Of The Waking Mind.
Vartanian, offered:
“I wanted the animation to grab you by the brain and feed you the book intravenously through your eyes…
Mirroring the depth and complexity of the source material, the animation seeks to interpret chapter 8 of Vaxis 2 in a collage of high-fidelity 3D scenes, employing the subjective perspectives of each character’s mind’s eye. In this frozen moment in time, the characters bear witness to a comprehensive array of past and future events, intricately woven into the very fabric of their most crucial decisions.
This artistic endeavor fosters a loose interpretation, strategically designed to resonate with true Coheed and Cambria fans who possess an intimate understanding and profound adoration for the story. The animation invites viewers to merge their profound love and extensive knowledge of the narrative, allowing them to vicariously immerse themselves in the minds of the characters. This interaction grants fans an opportunity to contribute their personal insights, further enriching the multifaceted tapestry of the Coheed and Cambria universe.”
