Swedish melodic thrash quintet DECADENCE check in with the following update:

"Finally it’s happening! That’s the best way to start off telling you all that we have begun recording a professional music video - the first one for us in Decadence!

It has been a long road to find the right people to help us out, the right song, the right plot, the right everything to finally put it into action.

Decadence cooperates with an organization sponsoring part of the production called Studiefrämjandet. Their own step forward in the engagement to be our sponsors is something we see as the fruit of Decadence being in the Studiefrämjandet organization for some years now and many years to come in connection with band activities. This is Studiefrämjandet’s pilot project of this kind of music video creation and we are happy to work together with them, help each other out with this music video and having our producer Helena Starenby by our side. Also a special thanks to Fredrik Bergström for his input.

The song is one of the tracks on our upcoming album and the first filming session has already taken place last Saturday on June 13th, 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden.

We begun recording our first scenario in a so called Green Screen room (where the background will of course look differently in the end!) and we have some photos for you here from that session. I feel that my and Decadence’ ideas and visions that we’ve had for many years are now being realized with the right people. So, the process of coming up with the right theme came naturally with the production team. That felt great and we are really eager to finish off the final scenes and begin preparing the video for release.

The next scenes are planned to be recorded next week! The video will be released in connection with the release of our upcoming album and it will be a sneaky peek for you all before it’s actually out!

More reports about this and the progress will be posted as we go along. Enjoy the pics (more official photos will be up in the Gallery shortly)!"
