Here is the third version of the “Below the Ruins” video. Initially, the first version was hastily thrown together. Mainly it was just to have something extra on a DVD promo. That version was a compilation of home videos of cathedrals.
Unsatisfied, I put together a second version. I added footage from the Christopher Lee classic film Horror Hotel (which is in public domain). Anyone who has seen the film knows what a great, creepy atmosphere it has. For that reason, it is one of my favorite films. Years ago, Iron Maiden also used clips from the movie in their “Bring your Daughter to the Slaughter” video. So my idea of using it was not original, but none the less I had the urge to do it.
Finally, I decided to re-edit it again with shots of the band playing. In this final version, I feel the true essence is present. The visual properly represents the song’s slow, brooding style.
