The Gaze Eternal Music Video To Be Released On Limited Edition DVD And Available Online

Forward-thinking Grand Rapids based progressive metal act Holloway will release their second music video next month via their website and YouTube channel entitled "The Gaze Eternal." Clocking in at just under 20 minutes, it is the visual companion to their 2010 three song EP of the same name. The film is structured to be projected behind the band in a live performance and is also a stand-alone piece in its own right.

This is not a music video in the traditional sense, as no band members appear on screen. Instead, the film is a lose narrative following a priest who uses necromancy to bring a plastic doll to life, questioning his faith in the process. Cut throughout with vivid surreal imagery, the film takes viewers on a sci-fi acid trip across the void, set against the striking background of Holloway's music.

The film was produced almost entirely "in house" by band members and frequent collaborators, on a shoe string budget. Ross Morgan, the band's frontman and director of the video, adds that "fans of the band know that the visual aspect is very much as large a part as the musical aspect. This video was created in my spare time as a way to keep myself busy and to give something different and unusual to our fans. It's based off of the artwork that came with the EP and is a solid dose of high-strangeness, which is what you can expect from us."

The video is set for an August 2nd release via the band's website and YouTube channel. It will also be released as a very limited edition DVD of 50 copies, hand numbered, and signed by the band, available only from the group's website and at live performances. The film has also been submitted to several local, national, and international film festivals.

Holloway is currently recording their second full-length album and is in rehearsals for a mid-August opening slot for heavy metal godfathers Queensryche. [The date - Aug 17 at the Orbit Room in Grand Rapids, MI].
