Music video

The music video for "Mein Land" was filmed on 23 May 2011 at Sycamore Cove State Beach, in Malibu, California. It was directed by Jonas Åkerlund, and depicts band members in casual 1960s beach attire. It shows them having a party while words in Beach Boy-type font describe the beach party. Near the end of the video, it cuts to 2012 and shows the band performing at the same beach, but dressed up industrially with flames shooting from various things around the stage. During the stage performance, each band member has face paint similar to Brandon Lee in the film The Crow. The music video was released on 11 November 2011.[4]
