The worlds of finger puppetry and high-flying prog-metal collide in Protest the Hero's new video for their Volition cut "Underbite."
There's a lengthy intro that finds a few paper finger puppet fans stoked to go see their favourite band, who are called INH but sound suspiciously like Protest the Hero. There's some concert-styled comedy tossed in, from ripping on expensive band merch to weighing in on onstage lipsyching, which leads to a disillusioned fan's rampage across town.
You'll see all that and a paper boner in the NSFW video down below.
Of the clip, Protest the hero said in a statement:
We admit, we have had some pretty outlandish ideas for music videos in the past. We may not have hit it out the park with all of those ideas - but something tells me we are close with this one. When we brought up the idea of a full blown puppet video to our friend / director Marc, he laughed in our faces. He continued laughing for weeks until he remembered a friend of his knew how to make wonderful little paper puppets. That's when he got serious. He took on the idea with every bit of his creative being and this is the result. You may not like the song, you may not agree with the lyrics, but if you don't like the video, we don't like you.
