God Damn showcase new video for ‘It Bites’

Thanks to the likes of Dawn of the Dead and The Walking Dead, we, as a nation, are pretty well prepped for the prospect of a zombie apocalypse. God Damn, however, may have missed the memo on how to deal with such an occasion, as demonstrated in their new video for ‘It Bites’.

Taken from their latest record ‘Everything Ever’, their ‘It Bites’ clip sees frontman Thom Edwards taking on the role of your average flesh-eating zombie, while the other band members welcome him with open arms back into their lives.

Speaking of the idea behind the clip, drummer Ash Weaver explains: “I remember the original idea came to me just after Halloween time, and I thought to coincide with the song title, the video should involve some sort of biting – I really wanted to emphasise that.

“At the time I was thinking more down the route of a vampire or werewolf character/s going around biting people who would then turn into versions of us, the band, so eventually everyone looks like us, and we are taking over. When the idea was put forward to Tim (Mobbs, director) he took it and ran with it, and came up with this great storyline of Thom as a zombie, which also links in with the ‘Dead to Me’ video that we released last year.

“We filmed it over 2 days. One day in Birmingham filming the out and about scenes (woods, park, British Legion club, cake scene). The following day we took it back home to Wolverhampton where we filmed the van scene and the live footage. Both days were really enjoyable and loads of fun. The hardest part for me was keeping a straight face, when I watch the video back I find it even more hilarious because I know that for most of my scenes, 10 seconds before I was probably laughing my head off.”
