TRAITRS
Toronto’s TRAITRS released the Rites & Ritual EP on Pleasance Records and we present you with the eerie evening video for “Heretic” from Francesco Brunotti. Late night wanderings & encounters with an eye-patched stranger & a Frankenstein monster-masked character in a hoodie are seen under the night lights in dramatic shot compositions that further bring out the emotion & foreboding sentiment of TRAITRS’ atmospheric sound. Franceso introduced his video with the following preface:
Heretic tells the story of two night creatures: an eye patch girl, and a boy with a monster face, both lost in the darkness of an empty city, both looking for something—or someone—wandering in the empty spaces of suburban night life. As they move around in these ghostly spaces, illuminated only by neon lights, they hint at something lost by both of them – is it peace of mind? Serenity? A spark that’s forever gone? Are they still human, or just ghosts of a past now gone? The way they move, it almost seems to draw a line between them, like two stories. Have they met before? Who are they? The twist at the end might actually help to figure that out, in a very bittersweet way.
