Mortal
Rift
Reviewed by Doug Van Pelt
It's not what you'd expect - a video about the band. It's an all-consuming look at child abuse and the song "Rift" powerfully works with it great. Eric Hannah and Christian Schneider of MTV's "Extreme Sports" put it together, of which they did a good job. The excess stuff here is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the video, and then you get a close caption-like version of the video. During the behind-the-scenes footage there is dialogue that explains the motivations behind the video and each scene. Emotionally, it hits you like a ton of bricks. This video package takes two watches to even fathom. It stirs the soul...plus there is a great video to boot. This is an other reason why Mortal will be missed.
