Accompanying this release, a cinematic clip shot in Slovenia was directed by Specter, known for his collaborations with Rammstein. Dan Searle, drummer of the band, explains: “We have long admired Specter for his work. His artistic vision brought our words to life in a unique way, perhaps sparking more questions than answers, but that is often what makes art beautiful.”
Whiplash addresses deep themes such as tribalism and growing divisions within society. Dan Searle adds: “It allowed us to explore these concepts in new ways and, for the first time in a while, it gave us the fuel to write something truly fierce.”
