Brooklyn, NY based hero-pop (hip hop, electro and rock) group Silver Medallion announces the release of the video for “Live Forever”, the first single off their album with DJ Benzi entitled No One Ever Really Dies. Silver Medallion originally hailed from Phoenix, AZ, but after the tragic death of their mc Carnegie on tour in late 2010, have permanently relocated to Brooklyn, NY. DJ Benzi presents their last works as a whole group in a free album available on Silver Medallion’s blog.
The video for “Live Forever” was directed by William Bastian II who issued this statement on his website:
“Phoenix is Burning along with Silver Medallion crafted this video in direct response to the glamorization of porn, politics, sex, greed and religion that our society and generation specifically seem to worship with no regard for repercussions. This video is meant to shine a spotlight on the reckless actions of a generation brought up in a superficial culture, lacking in conviction and a passion for substantial thought. In a world where Lindsay Lohan, Rush Limbaugh hatred, religious zealotry and greed are pushed to the forefront of our daily lives by the media, this is our push back on all of it. We use strong imagery as a way of getting our point across, offensive to some, we hope our audience understands this video represents a journey to substance, a cleansing of false idol, rejecting what has been pushed down our throats, and finding truth.â€
Live Forever†is a remix by Overwerk of their song “Vampires†off their debut LP The Last of the Pop Stars. The video features singer Oren J selling a female soul to a devil born of debauchery, and the ensuing impact on both of their mental states.
The video for the next single of the project, produced by Canadian beatmaker Wonka, entitled “My Dreamâ€, is scheduled for release at the end of April.
