KHAØS Premier "Exalted" Music Video
November 19, 2014, 9 years ago
Swiss/US rockers, Khaøs, have released a music video for the track "Exalted", featured on their debut album, Risen. This song is something singer Chandler Mogel holds quite close.
"It’s an emotional song that many people can identify with," comments guitarist Mark Rossi. "On the lyrical side "Exalted" is also a very personal song."Chandler adds, "This song is simply about finding my true self by helping others. This is a part of me that I can't deny, so why not write a song about it?"
Shot in a factory hall called 'Hamelhalle' in Switzerland, Mark explains more about the video and how it was director Can Isik who came up with the concept. "For this video Isik’s idea was to have the band performing in a bright lit huge hall with a lot of windows. It's a performance clip with a frame story and it's in opposition to the darker mood with pushed contrasts and desaturated colors we used in the ‘After The Silence’ video. ‘Exalted’ shows a more relaxed and natural atmosphere."
Isik comments, “I imagined as many extras as possible - young and old, beautiful and special, characters out of real life – a community of people... The goal was to produce a positive emotional clip about people in need of finding the way to exaltation.”
Recorded by Rolf Munkes at his Empire Studios in Germany and mastered by music legend and award winner for Adele’s 21, Tom Coyne at Sterling Sound in New York; Risen follows the bands revered 2012 Rising EP and was released on October 20th via Plastichead Distribution/MRR Records.
