Parry has released a video for the album opener, "In Isolation", stating: "Happy New Year everyone. 2022 kicks off with a new video clip from Rock Emporium 2 Brute Force, 'In Isolation'. This powerful melodic classic metal track written by Bob Wijtsma (music) & Ian Parry (lyrics & vocal melody), features the very talented musicians whom performed the music on 'In Isolation' from the Brute Force album:

"Filmed on location in the Netherlands by Lars Wijtsma and I did the outdoor scenes in France last summer which was lots of laughs also with the band again. Hope we do get a chance to play live again soon. Stay safe Ian."
