Canadian metal band Archspire recently unleashed their latest music video titled "Bleed the Future." The video is a high-budget spectacle, the band having spent a considerable chunk of change given by fans through a Kickstarter campaign, raising $81,572 CAD (about $60,000 USD) to make it. Alongside the video release, the band has now shared a 45-minute "directors commentary" video featuring Oli, Rob, and Mitch where they delve into the process behind creating the video.

The music video itself depicts a future where death metal is the mainstream genre experienced through VR headsets. It follows a storyline where unsuspecting club-goers are unknowingly experimented on with alien fluid, leading to the discovery of a hidden underground cult. The video showcases practical transformations, special lens effects, and a surprising twist, all explained in detail by the band in the making-of available to watch below.
