Weapons of Anew ‘Killshot’ Music Video Featured on Black Frame Glasses

New and quickly rising metal band Weapons of Anew, featuring members of HavocHate and Spread Eagle, released their debut single “Killshot” via OK! Good Records earlier this month. The single has received a lot of attention throughout the metal community since its release partially thanks to the recently released “Killshot” music video. Black Frame Glasses posted an article that discusses some behind the scenes information about the production of the video. Check it out bellow:

The video is based on a treatment written by frontman Ray West, who also penned the lyrics for the song. “Ray had written a treatment with a girl beating the breaks off a guy,” said bassist Stefan ‘Reno’ Cutrupi. “Once we met Ron and discussed the concept, all of the pieces kind of just fell into place.”

The video was a departure for director Geffen, though, who focuses more of his work on pop and EDM artists. “It was a fun time,” he said. “I believe the video depicts the emotions and feelings of the band, and how they are able to put those emotions into words.”…..”Ron is a hard worker that really hustles, so he and I definitely bonded quickly,” guitarist Freddy Ordine said. “Amber is actually Ron’s girlfriend and she has a hell of a right hook! She was actually punching Julian in the face with the first punch. Ron now knows not to piss her off!”

The shoot was the first time in a ring for the members of Weapons of Anew, even if they didn’t throw any punches themselves. “It actually felt very small,” Reno said. I give boxers even more respect than I already did. That feeling of no getting away from your opponent really hit home.” Added West: “It was very comfortable. I love to perform and to be on sets. I even love the endless takes. My fave is singing in double time. It’s very humbling.”
