Creative Direction for sludge metal band: Throwing Bricks

Throwing Bricks is a Dutch sludge metal band bringing a heavy emotional burden. Mixing their punk beginnings with slow and crushing sludge riffs and dashes of black metal and screamo, the project has evolved into the heavy yet energetic juggernaut it is today. FFO: Amenra, Inter Arma, Ultha

For Throwing Bricks debut album ‘What Will Be Lost’ I've did the whole creative direction. The main theme of ‘What Will Be Lost’ is, of course, dealing with loss. Hopelessness, despair, doubt and loneliness all come together in this decomposed faces and destructred imagery. Symbolising the deprevation of humanity.

“The video is intense and unnerving, a head-trip and a mind-fuck. The music it accompanies, is also intense and unnerving. Indeed catastrophic. And yet in some ways dreamlike.
