From Press Release –
Gothic doom rockers October Noir have released their music video for “Tourniquet“. The track, featured on their latest album, Letters to Existence, takes listeners on an immersive journey into the depths of pain, love, death, and spirituality.
The video plays on the four elements—earth, wind, water, and fire. The storyline follows a spirit systematically stripping these elements, represented in the beauty of the female form, and ultimately bringing them to their demise. This destructive process serves as a means to achieve a greater end—the downfall of humanity itself.
Tom Noir states
“The visual nudity isn’t nudity at all because the woman isn’t a woman,”
in reference to the AI-generated artistic vision behind the video. This is the first time October Noir has ventured into AI videography, utilizing the technology to capture the essence of the elements in ways that traditional production methods would have required extensive resources to achieve. Florida’s historic and record-breaking snowfall provided an unprecedented backdrop adding to the chilling essence of the song. Despite having other video concepts on the table, the band embraced the frigid conditions to craft what they consider an iconic moment in their musical journey.
“We had to strike the iron while it was ice-cold,”
Noir adds, emphasizing the unique opportunity that nature provided them.
