The last video variation on the theme - "Sickness Onto Death Part 1".

Due to an unstable butter supply and the recent demise of the stocky guy in the zhongshan suit, we had to delay the release of the final flick in our sickness-trilogy. But rejoice, cause 'tis the season for profound existential despair, so feast yer eyes on this unholy sacrifice from the wise men of It's the End.

More videos?

You betcha!

When we decided to make the video for the track named "The Sickness onto Death Part 1", we also decided to make no less than three new videos in the process. The first one was unveiled last Friday and the second is being released right now! Check it out below!

The YouTube version:


... and the Vimeo version:

New video and t-shirts?

Yes indeed!

The date is 11.11.2011 and the time is 11:11 PM. We're releasing the first of three new music videos today! And then - as an added bonus - there are new t-shirts for you to buy, with a design made by Robert Høyem!

The t-shirts can be bought right here:

The video can be seen at YouTube:

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.

今度は何？ペンネアラビアタはどう？

We'd like to Thank butter, for being fatty and versatile. I mean, you can use it for almost any imaginable fucking thing known to man! We'd like to thank all those child laborers in the tHird world countries for making Excellent quality guitar strings, in spite of terrible working conditions. And those guys cutting down the world's dwindling forests in order to harVest wood for drum stIcks. You know, working out there in those terribly Damp rain forests. That's tough shit, you know! You can gEt all sorts of unknOwn diseases, and your mind can fragment and fall to tIny pieces from being isolated from people over long periods of time... And your bulldozer's roaring monster V12 engine can screw up, hundredS of fucking miles away from the local garage with diluted diesel fuel and fake Wunderbaums, yOu know! And then what you gonna do? Huh? What yoU gonna do? You'd have to pull out a Philips screeeewdriver, and get your hands dirty. The spoon in your swiss army knife ain'T gonna help you, that's for sure!

"and... but... also... a new car!" And a members' site. That's right! And it's still probably not too late to sign up. Maybe.

Kill those evil aliens!

There's still a bit of red in there

... "With whips and chains and hand grenades". Or maybe a chainsaw. Or utilize a used up roll of toilet paper in ways hitherto unbeknownst to man.

A new video and a members' site are being launched in less then three days! Ohmagod! There's hardly enough time to sign up using the box below!

Teaser

No, we did not record a cover of Yngwie Malmsteen's Teaser! Who would even dear to think what that would sound like... But we did upload a tiny little teaser video for the video that you're probably all waiting for right now! This will hopefully make the wait for the real thing seem shorter.

Soon out of copies

Now, who's this guy? Huh? Huh?
Originally uploaded by It's the End

We can't really thank you, our fans, enough. What we thought would only be a family and weird friends thing, has turned out quite differently. The first batch of physical CDs is soon to be sold out! WTF? How did this happen? This is far beyond odd meters and superimposed quintuplets synchronized via CV in a barn somewhere to the left of Russia.

If you still haven't got your dirty little hands on your copy yet, maybe it's about time to do something about it? Huh? Huh? We'll start reprinting well before the CDs actually run out, so don't worry about not getting those same dirty little hands on that afore mentioned copy.

We're almost done making the very last video in the overly exciting, cheap and poorly animated Progawards trilogy. We'll get back to you very soon with a date for its release.

It's really all about using Absinthe in revised string theory. Well, kind of.

New video slightly delayed

Hello, boys and girls!

We're keeping ourselves insanely busy these days, and as a consequence we were not able to complete our latest video in time to meet our own deadline. No cause for alarm, perspiration and/or hyperventilation, though, as it's very near its completion. We just need time to make the final edits. You'll get to see it very soon! We promise.

Proceding to the Progawards finals

We're in the finals, boys and girls. Why not celebrate it with another video, that gives our fans a sorely sought-after quick peek into our secret laboratory. This video was shot in the dark lair, in the annex of our Secret Quarters. Enjoy!

Do root canals get cleaned? Yes, they do.

Giving thanks for the Progawards nomination

We just made a video to celebrate our Progawards nomination. Check it out!

The video for Internal Combustion is out now!

We promised you the video for Internal Combustion, and here it is! :-)

Unleashing the music video on September 9

The music video for Internal Combustion will be made available on the Web at 9:00 PM CET on September 9 2009! The video will be made available right here on MySpace, itstheend.com, YouTube and various other sites.

The music video for Internal Combustion is done!

For the past few weeks (more or less) we have been working on a really psychedelic music video for the track on our debut album entitled "Internal Combustion". The production method has been very weird, unusual and untraditional - just like It's the End itself. The video is now done and had its premiere on a private release party this Saturday. The people at the party seemed to like the fruits of our labor, and we hope the rest of the world will join them in their sentiments (the weird parts of the world, anyway). We will make it available on the web quite soon. So stay up-to-date!
