Video information

The music video for "Sequoia Throne" was released April 25, 2008. The video was directed by Marc Andre Debruyne (who also directed the video for "Bloodmeat", the first single off Fortress). It features the band in an empty building at first performing the song separately in business suits & ties while lead singer Rody Walker maniacally walks through the halls singing the song. As the video progress, the band members (all except Walker) are in regular clothes running through the halls from Walker who stalks and presumably attacks and kills them off one by one. In this video, bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi is seen with a 5-string Steinberger bass, famous for its headless design.
