Messina, Italy based Rock Progressivo Italiano/Progressive Metal act ApoGod Project published the official video for the track “Tower of Babel” from debut album “A Prog Bible” out on July 28, 2022 via Metal Zone Italia. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
The video for “Tower of Babel” by ApoGod Project will be released on October 27th, 2023 taken from the setlist of “A Prog Bible,” the concept album of the Sicilian Progressive Rock/Metal project published for Metal Zone Italia, concerning the Bible as an epic poem.
Filmed entirely on location between the abandoned colony of Colli S. Rizzo and the magical Megaliths of Argimusco (both evocative locations are located in the province of Messina, Sicily), the video clip, also shot with the use of drones and in very difficult logistical conditions, presents a concept about a woman who stumbles upon a surreal City of Babel. There, “Lost, she comes into contact with her mysterious inhabitants, who try to suck her into their own incomprehensible and confusing world.”
“We looked for a location with a structure that could represent the rooms of a tower, the ‘Tower of Babel’, in fact. This abandoned place has no roof and seems to symbolize its collapse. At the same time, it creates a mysterious and disturbing atmosphere. There are hooded and masked inhabitants, as if they belonged to a sect. They don’t even know each other, they are anonymous figures. The protagonist is attracted, almost kidnapped, until she becomes so involved in this world that it becomes part of her. The final image which sees the girl wearing a mask that makes her unrecognizable, symbolizes this passage. For the other shots, reserved only for us musicians, the Argimusco plateau was chosen. An ancient site lost in thin air, made up of gigantic rocks millions of years old.” – ApoGod Project
