October Noir have shared an official video for their song “Tourniquet.” That track appears on the band's latest album “Letters To Existence.” The following was said about the video in a press release:
“The "Tourniquet" video presents a visually stunning and metaphorically rich interpretation of the song’s lyrical themes. Playing on the references to 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.
“The visual nudity isn’t nudity at all because the woman isn’t a woman,” Tom Noir states, referencing the AI-generated artistic vision behind the video. For the first time, October Noir has ventured into AI videography, utilizing this groundbreaking technology to capture the essence of the elements in ways that traditional production methods would have required extensive resources to achieve. A key factor in the video’s creation was Florida’s historic and record-breaking snowfall, which provided the band with an unprecedented natural backdrop that further amplifies 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.”
