Behind The Scenes: DEKAY - Start The Rot (Official Video)

"Start The Rot." This song acts as an introduction to the overarching theme of the album and serves as a powerful commentary on the concept of decay and its implications for humanity. Drawing inspiration from "The Nothing" in "The NeverEnding Story," the track paints a vivid picture of destruction, where "the rot" consumes everything in its path. With its heavy instrumentation and evocative lyrics, it grips the listener with the notion that we stand on the brink of our own demise. The accompanying music video, filmed at a decommissioned military fort in Baltimore, adds a haunting visual element that complements the song’s themes, echoing our history's darker moments. Filmed by long-time friend and videographer Matt Gischel aka MattChu this was such a fun video to film.

 

Fun side note : I am the Co-chair for the “Fort Howard Haunted Dungeons that takes place in the same location so I had everything I could need form a location to make this video, it could not have been more perfect!
