The Cult Release 'Elemental Light' Salem Remix Video

12/04/2012
. (hennemusic) The Cult have released a video for the Salem remix of their track "Elemental Light," from the band's latest effort, "Choice Of Weapon."

When singer Ian Astbury had the idea for Salem to do the remix, he reached out to Salem as an admirer, using an e-mail he found on and EP he had.

The band responded and chose "Elemental Light", which resulted in an ethereal, beat-driven version of the song. Ian then called in the cinematic prowess of director/acclaimed fine artist Kostas Seremetis to create a visual element for the remix, and the result is more short film than music video.

"The sentiment of this film captures the loss of wilderness, and a generation trying to make sense of the trash heap they have inherited," Astbury says of the project. "It evokes nature versus man, that struggle [and] desire to control nature and ultimately death." Watch the video here.
