After the metal-metalcore-mathcore band (here few people agree with his style) Iwrestledabearonce unveiled two of the songs from his next LP 'Hail Mary' -'Erase It All 'and' Wade In Water'-, the time has finally come to know the first official single and its video clip, 'Gift Of Death'. This new video clip has been directed by Shan Dan (Shadow Born Group) -Capture The Crown, Winds Of Plague- and in it we find what many of us did not want to come ... ever.
Did you have any hope that all that new dark streak would end up in that ... a streak? Then you can throw your hopes to the trash, because if something shows the video clip of 'Gift Of Death' it is to the iwrestledabearonce so serious and dark that they were already announcing themselves. Courtney has completely put aside the "little dances" -typical of the band when any of its songs changed style just because- to be tougher, always within the possible, since Courtney's energy when acting will never arrive to the waste of the previous vocalist, Krysta Cameron.
'Gift of Death' It is the typical music video of a metal band in which all you see is an unscripted performance. Although the video quality is taken care of, Iwrestledabearonce they are no longer going to save the world «Again»They neither go to parties in gardens, nor do they record videos with brooms and inflatable plastic guitars with a vocalist dressed as a lady. Nobody here makes the cinnamon anymore ... and that is missed. But does 'Gift Of Death' sound good? Yes, of course, like so many other dozens of bands of the same style, but it doesn't add anything new, just what made IWABO separate from the rest of the bands. A shame
