In This Moment Reveal Video for ‘Whore’ Starring Motionless in White Vocalist
In This Moment have just released a cinematic music video for the track 'Whore.' Starring Motionless in White vocalist Chris Motionless, the clip visits a dark and vintage area of New York City when sketchy strip clubs still outnumbered tourist traps in the city that never sleeps.
'Whore' is an interesting clip to say the least. Directed by longtime In This Moment videographer Robert Kley, 'Whore' can't help but make you wish you had lived through prohibition-era New York City. Chris Motionless possesses a charismatic aura while playing his part, although the singer doesn't speak a word. "His look is so perfect for the dirty vintage feel of the video, and he was a perfect gentleman while being violated by me," says In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink.
Brink continues, "I knew how amazing placing the visual arts to 'Whore' would be when we wrote it, and I have been waiting to release this video since we recorded the song. I am so passionate about the concepts and every single detail that goes into shooting a music video, and I created my own stimulating visual metaphor to make this - I am grateful to have worked with Robert Kley again, he always seems to help me bring what I see in my mind to life. 'Whore' is a song that pushes boundaries, and I needed the video to do the same. The song is about taking back control. It is about rising above and finding the power within ourselves. I hope everyone enjoys it!"
"'Whore' is one of my favorite songs on 'Blood' and the video is the best we have created to date," says guitarist Chris Howorth. "It's just as creepy and sexy as our live show, with a bunch of extra surprises. Maria really outdid herself on this one... this is her twisted vision brought to life, enjoy!"
In This Moment will waste no time in 2014, embarking on a new leg of their 'Hellpop' U.S. tour with Butcher Babies, Devour the Day + All Hail the Yeti. The trek will begin on Jan. 2 in Portland, Ore. For the full list of tour dates, click here.
