Korn’s New Video for “Take Me” Feels Like it Was Pulled From the 90’s
Nu-metal band Korn have released a music video for their track “Take Me”, which comes from their latest album The Serenity of Suffering. The clip must’ve been directed by someone who adores 90’s grungy music videos. There’s this feel about the video, from the band playing behind glass panes to those blurry lens flares, that just exudes that decade. It’s not a bad video, by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, it’s really well produced, the song ain’t half bad, and the final product is a solid release. I must also say that I love the scalpel against the eye gag. Reminds me of Zombi 2!
All this being said, I think Korn’s last video for “A Different World” is far more visually exciting and stands out as the best video for this album. That clip is gruesome, weird, and very surreal, which is everything I usually want from a music video!
The Serenity of Suffering is available now via iTunes.
AMC has announced that The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE, the standing-room-only performance celebrating AMC’s premiere of its newly-released The Vampire Lestat at New York City’s iconic Beacon Theatre last month, will debut on streaming.
The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only LIVE begins streaming on AMC+ on August 23.
Ahead of its streaming premiere, fans can preview the concert event, featuring original songs from series composer Daniel Hart and performed by Sam Reid, in Hall H at Comic Con International on July 24.
Our own Daniel Kurland attended the special event, highlighting how electric the Immortal Vampire is on stage: “It’s clear in this season of television that Reid was born to be a rock star, but it’s surreal to see him effortlessly command the stage — and the audience — at every step of the concert. He recites Shakespeare monologues and bitches out Armand between songs, all while the audience screams in support. For the duration of this concert, Reid is Lestat, and he’s given thousands of fans a memory that’s as immortal as any vampire.”
Based on Anne Rice‘s The Vampire Chronicles book series, The Vampire Lestat is the rock and roll-centric third season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” created by showrunner Rolin Jones.
The Vampire Lestat goes on an electric multi-city tour while being haunted by “muses” from his wild and rebellious past. As his band’s popularity and star power rises, so does Lestat’s influence over vampires and humans alike, leaving others to contend with Lestat’s power in the face of the Great Conversion, an unnatural surge in the vampire population.
Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Eric Bogosian, Delainey Hayles and Jennifer Ehle star with Reid. Executive producers include Jones, Mark Johnson, Hannah Moscovitch, the late Anne Rice, and her son Christopher Rice.
The series finale airs this Sunday, July 19, on AMC and AMC+.
