On the heels of wrapping up their tour with Children Of Bodom and Abbath and releasing their highly acclaimed album Ironshore, progressive metal outfit ONI have just premiered their gory new music video for “The Only Cure.”
Featuring Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe, the new clip is a somewhat NSFW bloodbath that follows the song’s lyrical structure to a T – that is, according to frontman Jake Oni.
“'The Only Cure’ is about a guy getting captured by a serial killer and getting killed by getting his chest cut open,“ he explains. "I came up with the gory ideas for the video. The song is about someone getting their chest cut open, so I felt like it would have been wrong to make the music video any other way.”
Well, there you have it. Pretty straight forward don’t you think? As for what metal legend Blythe thought about co-starring in the video, the Lamb Of God frontman feels it’s right up his alley.
“What a super-creepy video! Horror fans will love it,” says Blythe. “The production is Hollywood film-quality; it looks like something out of a Saw or Hostel movie. I had a lot of fun with the ONI guys recording this track, and it’s cool to see the music set to such dramatic scenery. Nightmares…”
