We’ve teamed up with alt-hard rock band Chevelle to bring you the exclusive music video premiere for “Door to Door Cannibals”, which comes from their latest album The North Corridor. The video starts off with vocalist/guitarist Pete waking up in a strange hospital and running for his life. As he goes through the hallways, he passes rooms that contain strange, surreal, and terrifying denizens. The further down the rabbit hole he goes, the more the situation descends into chaos.
There are absolutely nods to Jacob’s Ladder in this video as well as, and this might just be me projecting, some dashes of the hospital scenes from the PC horror point-and-click game Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh. If creepy hospitals give you the shivers, avoid this video!

Drummer Sam Loeffler tells BD:
Pete, Dean and I wanted to do a sort of “nightmare/horror” type video for “Door to Door Cannibals,” so we spent some time brainstorming and kicked around the idea of a mental/experimental hospital we find ourselves in and can’t wake up from. We thought it could be killer if we added some messed up elements that would make Pete freakout and question reality on his way looking for an escape, including a few open doorways with questionable events going on inside. I think we achieved a grittiness that created a sense of urgency but still left us with a little bit of creepy tongue-in-cheek style that some horror films are known for.
You can pick up The North Corridor via iTunes.
