Something, that by anyone’s standard, would be a complete failure, yet in his eyes, a masterpiece of delicacy. “The idea was built on following his manic progression of working on a recipe. There was something particularly twisted about the idea of him being addicted to cooking shows. For this video, we really wanted to explore the madness, that compulsive energy behind Armin’s frame of mind. We can either live in denial and imagine they don’t exist or we can dig deeper into what makes them tick so we know what to look for. The video was directed by critically acclaimed and Grammy-nominated director PR Brown (Korn, Slipknot, Motley Crue, Audioslave, Miley Cyrus, Green Day, Alicia Keys), who also lensed the video for the previous single “ Chris Watts.”īrown also weighs in on the visual, saying, “Monsters live among us. Meiwes didn’t seem like the typical beast you’d imagine when you think of a ‘cannibal.’ But then again, you might ask yourself, ‘What does a cannibal even look like?’ It’s a story that hasn’t left me for years and I feel like I have finally translated it into music.” She continues, “When I investigated the case, I watched an interview with him. His urge to own someone and to fully merge with somebody trumped his common sense.”
He wanted to reach another level of climax, because fantasies that he had held since he was a little boy weren’t enough for him anymore. Meiwes didn’t have his inner animal tamed. It sounds insane on the surface, but it’s also really sad story about being lonely and engaging in an internal fight of fantasy versus reality. “The arrangement was an entirely consensual cannibalistic murder. “This is just a really bizarre story,” Skynd shares.
Therefore, it’s no surprise that the pair delve into one of the most shocking stories of our time with this track and video. They are known for taking inspiration from inexplicable and brutal criminal cases and the mystery surrounding unsolved deaths, and transforming them into songs to remind us of the darkness within the human psyche.
