New video footage of Canadian extreme metallers CRYPTOPSY performing the song “Phobophile” has surfaced. The somewhat unconventional music video depicts the band from its original “None So Vile” album line-up in LEGO form and combines ‘live’ stage footage intertwined with a grindhouse horror serial-killer storyline.
Balancing an unsettling mix of comedy and gore, the plastic brick characters in the footage appears in sync with the music soundtrack so that the diminutive LEGO band actually appears to be playing the unusually high BPM music. Eventually, the two set-pieces converge into an apocalyptic bloodbath.
Its creator used an iPhone to shoot each frame, with all the combined footage adding up to an estimated 3,400 individual photo shots to create just under 6 minutes of animated footage.
