Los Angeles melodic metal band, Ninth Circle, have released the official video for their next single, "All Or Nothing", off their third CD, titled Legions Of The Brave, available on Pure Rock Records.

“Making this video was a lot of fun”, states bassist Frank Forray. “From the beginning stages of throwing ideas around to storyboarding to casting to filming, it was one of the most enjoyable experiences the band has had with video.”
“The video for "All Or Nothing" exceeded my wildest imagination. The story is great. The production is superb. The band played their asses off and the song is not too bad, if I do say so myself. It was an extremely long day of shooting, but it was a lot of fun. Adam, the producer, and Elan, the director, were awesome to work with. They gave fantastic direction and really made the whole concept come to life. They were to open to ideas and ultimately were in it to making Ninth Circle look amazing and make the song come to life. I think Adam and Elan accomplished that hands down!”

Frank goes on to say, “"All Or Nothing" was lyrically inspired by a very close friend of Dennis and the band who met an unfortunate and untimely demise. Lyrically I wanted to capture what his essence was all about. Someone who was fearless, a true friend you could count on. Lived his life to fullest and did things his way. He was "All Or Nothing"!  When we starting the concept phase for the video we thought the lyrical story may be tough to tell in six minutes. Then the directors floated the concept of an underground flight club with a guy who would be the obvious king of the ring and the meek and scrawny challenger. And it just took off from there. As a band we thought this concept served the song very well!”

"The crew did a great job”, Dennis adds. "It was a long day of shooting but everyone did their part once we were on set. The theme of taking something full on was captured and the directors brought it to life. You've got to throw in a few curve balls here and there to keep the viewer interested and we were definitely pleased with the result. And yes, we had a lot of fun making this!"  

Adam Makowka describes working with Ninth Circle, “Working with Ninth Circle was terrible. What a bunch of prima donnas! Just kidding...this was probably one of, if not my favorite, projects. Ninth Circle are a bunch of solid, insanely talented, good people. Top notch quality all around. All of us were on the same page from the beginning, creating a smooth and awesome production.”

“I first met with Frank to start brainstorming some concepts”, says Adam who describes the creative process. ”We came up with a few, unpolished ideas that might work. It was not until I brought them to the director that they really came to life. The director had a fresh and exciting take on one of our original concepts, molding a half baked idea into a clear vision”
“First, the song is amazing”, expresses Adam who continues on about the song itself. “It is an upbeat adventure that is all about giving it your all, in any situation, big or small. We wanted the video to really hammer that home. That's why we went with an underdog story about an everyman who is literally putting his life on the line for a chance at glory. Whether he wins or loses, he is putting it all out there. We also wanted to highlight the band, since they are such talented musicians, which is why we wanted a healthy balance between story and performance. At the end of the day, we just wanted the video to do the song justice. It more than deserves that.”

Frank concludes, “Now we are extremely pleased announce the premier of the video, "All Or Nothing". We hope everyone enjoys this video experience as much as we did filming it!”
