Children: from Dead To Fall to porn and back again

2/20/2012 7:48:41 PM PT   comments [16]

Chad Fjerstad, former bassist for Minneapolis melodic death metal band Dead To Fall, sent us word over the weekend that he has a new "electronic-based metal" band called Children.

In his email, Fjerstad stated that when Dead To Fall broke up in 2008, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue porn. I honestly thought he was joking until I decided to check up on the matter, and he indeed has been doing porn, originally under the adult name of Vin Vericose. You can read more about that here if you'd like.

Anyway, Children also includes fellow porn actor Christopher Zeischegg and the band has produced the following video for a song called "Girl in the Dirt." Notably, the song itself was recorded by Michael Keene of The Faceless.

I'm not sure what to make of the video, but it's definitely got some interesting (and inexplicable) content. Here you go:




As far as I can tell, Zeischegg and Fjerstad are still paying the rent via pornagraphy, currently performing as Danny Wylde and Chad Alva, respectively.

good point... i would like to think that cave in would have passed on a split with this version.

there was also a way sweeter band called Children just recently, on Kemado Records

I'm offended. Not by the blasphemous content, but the fact it was trying so hard.

I like it.Wish we could see more of the singer's face.

this looks like a cross between a nine inch nails video and amateur saw movie remake - both done with a $43 budget.

DEP's guitar swings with toys are not stoked
