Liturgy - High Gold
By way of an explanation for this video, let me quote again from Christopher Weingarten’s Spin story about Liturgy:
Soon after Liturgy released the first single from Aesthethica, the accelerating cloudgazer “High Gold,” they got an unexpected YouTube tribute from user FenrizBrazil, a name referencing the drummer from true-school black metal band Darkthrone. The video featured “High Gold” set to more than 15 scenes of men passionately kissing each other. “Clearly it was made with hostile intentions,” says Hunt-Hendrix. “I was definitely laughing uncontrollably, due to a mix of bewilderment and amusement and fear—but it was very startling. Then we were considering making it our official video.”
When I first saw this video, I was actually fooled for a moment, and thought that it was an official video. The thing about this video is that it could just as easily be a product of Liturgy attempting to annoy uptight black metal fans as a product of those uptight black metal fans attempting to annoy Liturgy. Either way, it makes a strong point about how disturbing and closed-minded the typical black metal fan base can be, and exactly why a band like Liturgy is so needed to shake that whole scene up.
