Marching Church - Lion's Den





Next week sees the release of Marching Church’s enthralling new album, Telling It Like It Is, the Danish collective’s second full-length and easily their sharpest work. 

After releasing debut singles, “Heart of Life” and “Lion’s Den,” they now present the latter’s visual accompaniment. Featuring the core Marching Church band -- Iceage’s Elias Bender Rønnenfelt and Johan S. Weith, Lower’s Kristian Emdal and Anton Rothstein, Jakob Emil Lamdahl and Hand of Dust’s Bo Høyer Hansen -- the “Lion’s Den” video was filmed between Copenhagen, New York and Tokyo. 

Rønnenfelt comments, “Directed by a man they thought to be dead, it's a metropolitan video for a metropolitan beat; taking cabs in the middle of the night, driving as if to save your soul. Dancing in slow motion because the air is made of oil, and everyone's a criminal because the world is a crime."
