Los Angeles/Orange County, CA-based metal band DMT has released their second music video, 'American Evolution', off their debut EP A Shift Of Ages. The video was directed and edited by Lord Zane of SOCIETY 1. Watch the new clip below:

DMT had teamed up with Lord Zane for their first video, 'Beneath The Surface', which has almost 40,000 views in just over 6 months. This time around they teamed up to capture the essence of their live performance and the intensity of their fans, utilizing a unique 180 degree view, which gives a wider spectrum of perception then most standard live music videos, this brings the viewer closer in on the performance as they pulse with the energies of the message and music. The intensity of the crowd is the catalyzing force of this video, for this brings out the inner spiritual forces which drive DMT. Featured in the crowd is their friend, Host of SullenTV and the official face of Sullen Clothing, Bernadette Macias. Bernadette just finished shooting a cover and 8-page spread for VAR magazine with DAVE NAVARRO, she also is featured as the host of DMT’s Behind the Scenes preview look, creating 'American Evolution'. See below:

The message behind 'American Evolution' and the significance of the 6/11/12 release date is as follows, through the eyes of DMT: "As Jupiter enters Gemini today, the time has come for a shift of awareness; the time is Now to take back what is ours, the right to be free and to explore and expand our own consciousness. The age of the Republican/Democratic dinosaurs has come and gone, a shift of ages is upon us to re-store balance across this land. It starts in the melting pot of the world and shall ripple out from here, like a hurricane wave of consciousness, the inner and outer forces of creation and destruction at work to BRING THE CHANGE. The choice is now in OUR hands, we either expand or decay together... Awaken! For the time is now to expand who we really ARE, to reclaim our minds, and to TAKE IT BACK!!! Bring on The American Evolution!"
