West Virginia hard rock mavens Zeroking release ‘Back Off’, the second single and video from their upcoming release, American Savior.
The video for ‘Back Off’ was shot in the Chesapeake Community Center in Chesapeake, Ohio, USA and was directed by Zeroking guitarist, Shane Day who also co-produced the clip along with Matt Napier for Matt Napier Film & Photo. The video concept came together quite easily according to Day, “Alan French is a friend of ours and he runs the Chesapeake Karate Academy. He always tries to engage them in different activities tied into their workout to keep it interesting for the kids, so when we were throwing around ideas for the video it just became a no-brainer.”
Starring world champion Kaelyn Kowalski of Team Revolution and her former Chesapeake Karate Academy teammates, the video is a whirlwind of karate action interspersed with gymnastics champion and co-star Justin Isaacs, who had previously worked with French and Zeroking playing in the middle of it all. Kowalski and Isaacs take on double roles as she plays the role of the beautiful demon constantly stuck in Isaac’s head.
“The song and the video are both about the same thing,” said Day. “They’re both about a relationship you can’t get out of. It’s an addiction. At the end of the video Justin realises that she only exists in his head and the demon that Kaelyn portrays is his own mind chasing itself.”
The American Savior album hits stores on 25th November through Weapon Records/Vanity Music Group and distributed via The Orchard/Sony Music.
‘Back Off’ can be downloaded from Apple Music and streamed on Spotify.
