The post New AI-generated video for Type O Negative’s “Halloween in Heaven” released on World Goth Day: Watch first appeared on Consequence.
Type O Negative are widely considered the definitive goth metal band, so it’s no surprise that World Goth Day (May 22nd) saw the release of a new AI-generated video for the group’s song “Halloween in Heaven.” .
The late Peter Steele originally wrote the song as a tribute to Dimebag Darrell, and it appeared on Type O’s final album. dead again Dimebag also appears in the new video, alongside many of the rock heroes Steele mentions in the song’s lyrics. “Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass, guest mortician / Bon Scott on vox, Rose on kicks only, Hendrix on guitar / Lennon sits with his friend George, where’s Morrison?”
“AI video by an AI band!” Type O Negative’s Johnny Kenny said, drawing on the band’s hallmark self-deprecating sarcasm.
Corinne Larre of Twisted Hooves Studio combined AI software to create the clip. One created the image and the other she converted it into a video sequence. Larre estimates it took thousands of renders to get the results seen in the final clip.
“The lyrics have allowed me to experiment a lot,” Lare said. “This eerie, kitsch world was born. I hope this is an homage to the band.” The real challenge was to integrate the legendary artist into this image. It’s hard to explain to AI the details that make it unique as a human. After all, there must have been hundreds, even thousands of iterations for this video.
Rare continued: “As an artist, I think we need to remain humble when working with artificial intelligence, as this subject has rightfully raised ethical debates in the creative world. In my opinion. , these works should not be seen as works of art per se, but as the first step in the technology that will revolutionize audiovisual production in the years to come.”
