Damn, we’ve been waiting a long time for this. On Thursday, the Headbangers Ball Blog will premiere the new video by The Dillinger Escape Plan for the song “Milk Lizard.” The clip will debut on air on Saturday night on MTV2’s Headbangers Ball.The video for “Milk Lizard” was directed by Ilan Sharone (Stolen Babies, Zebrahead) on September 29, the day after the the director’s disaster-laden shoot for “Black Bubblegum.”
“I will never forget filming the video for ‘Milk Lizard,’ Weinman tells HBB Blog. “Not only was it the first time all of the new lineup were actually performing together on camera, but I had broken my foot the day before. It was definitely a painful yet ultimately satisfying experience.”
Sharone’s original treatment for the “Milk Lizard” video described a bar fight and what happens to a chair during the fracas. “I wanted to leave the bar environment by shooting what the viewer thinks is a normal looking performance video,” Sharone told HBB Blog. “Once the fight breaks out, a chair is thrown at a guy and flies out of the bar, taking on a life of its own. We see the chair go through the streets and town until it finally comes to the aid of an elderly lady who desperately needs a chair to sit on.”
On Thursday, check out the video to see whether the director was able to realize his creative vision. In the meantime, watch Dillinger’s video for “Panasonic Youth”:
