SKYND: Heaven's Gate (2024)
*Yawn*
Ah, hold onto your seats, folks, because SKYND's latest snooze-fest, "Heaven's Gate," is about to put you into a coma. You'd think a shock band known for their true crime fascination would bring some edge to the table, but instead, we get a video as soulless as a vacuum cleaner. I mean, seriously, this band has been on the circuit since 2018, but it looks like they're running out of steam faster than a geriatric hamster on a wheel. And don't even get me started on the song itself - this is about as terrifying as a marshmallow. I'd sooner expect to be scared by my cat playing with a ball of yarn. So, here's to SKYND, the masters of dullness, proving once again that they can turn even the most gruesome true crime stories into a lullaby. Seriously, there is just nothing related to the story of the cult. Where is the poisoned drink, where is the second founder of the cult, where is the Hale-Bopp comet? The clip is absolutely empty and looks as cheap as possible. In fact, there's like only two scenes in the video - Skynd sings and plays with curtains and some old grandpa standing in a T-pose, and then falls. No symbolism, no connection to the true story of the Heaven's Gate cult.
Keep up the lackluster work! =)
SKYND: Bianca Devins (2023)
One of the funniest music videos I think I've ever seen
Well, well, well, if it isn't SKYND's "Bianca Devins" music video, a prime example of how not to pay tribute to a murder victim. I mean, seriously, who gave the green light to this dumpster fire? With the finesse of a blindfolded chimp, they decided to slap on some pathetic AI filter, turning poor Bianca into a cartoonish monstrosity straight out of a B-grade horror flick. And let's not forget those teeth - Bianca ends up looking like she's auditioning for the role of the next Jaws villain rather than a 17-year-old girl.
So congrats, SKYND, you've managed to turn a heartbreaking story into a sideshow of unintentional comedy. Move over, stand-up comedians, because bad AI animation are the new kings of comedy. Forget about scares or tears; this music video is more likely to induce fits of laughter. Heck, even the trolls from 4chan would've had a field day with this one when the Bianca Devins case was still very fresh. So keep up the good work, SKYND - hope to see you turn a tragic story into a sideshow of cringe-inducing proportions again in the future! XD.
