Merch and video(s) in the works

Have you ever had a craving for a really sweet It's the End T-shirt? Or maybe some underpants bearing our name - a little something special to show off to that equally special someone in your life? Or have you been wishing for something else entirely? Please let us know! We'd really appreciate some feedback on this.

Nevertheless, the process of getting some proper It's the End merch to the marketplace has been kicked off last week, as we contracted a very talented Norwegian artist to do some work for us. As usual, more details will be served to you on this subject in the relatively near future.

The upcoming video(s) for an - as of yet - undisclosed track from our debut album, is(/are) currently still in the works. Behind the scenes photos from the shooting of this(/these) video(s) have been made available on Flickr, Facebook and our website. More such photos - and even videos - exist, and will be made available leading up to the release(s).

As we set out to make this(/these) video(s) we realized that we actually had a potential for creating more than just one single video, even when choosing to do the shooting of the whole thing over just one weekend. This was much thanks to the fantastic efforts of Kjell Ivar Lund, who worked for an unknown number of days just to get the set ready. Our time on the set was further reduced through the use of three cameras and just as many photographers. How many videos are we making then? We will let you know...

Kjell Ivar has since then completed some animation sequences, and the editing and post-production phase is getting closer to its end. The release date of the video(s) is(/are) still pending, however.

More news to follow in a little while. Until then; enjoy the remains of spring 2011 (if you're living on the northern hemisphere) and stay progressive (where ever you are)!

News on upcoming video(s)


Slightly suicidal chicken

You probably already figured out from our tweets and Facebook profile updates that we spent a few days recording some sort of a video, fairly aptly (or perhaps just randomly?) codenamed "Anti Climacus", a few weeks back. At the point in time when you're reading this, you may be asking yourself: "What the hell is this video about? And when the hell do I get to see it?"

Funny thing is that this post isn't going to answer any of those questions.

However, the photo that accompanies this post should give you a clue or two. We didn't want to leave you completely empty-handed and clueless.

By the way, being huge gadget freaks, we just couldn't keep ourselves from rewarding our equal minded fans with a little something extra. We just uploaded a small set of 3D photos that we took with a Nintendo 3DS while on the video location. So, if you got one of those things, download the images, transfer them to your very own 3DS and view them in their 3D splendor.

Here are the links to the 3DS photos:

As for the final video (or was it videos?) that will be the result of all this, you will get to see it when it's all done. As of late, we've been resorting to locking up certain band members in tiny, dirty motel rooms in order to force them to do nothing but edit hours upon hours of goddamn video footage. The things we do for our fans...

If our efforts pay off, you'll get another post with more info fairly soon. Until then, well, do what ever you like.
