WICKED WISDOM WRAPS UP A NINE WEEK TOUR WITH SEVENDUST …FILMS A NEW VIDEO WITH DIRECTOR DEAN KARR FOR ‘BLEED ALL OVER ME’ AND APPEAR ON MTV2 HEADBANGERS BALL– APRIL 15th @10:00 PM EST!!!
No stranger to the camera WICKED WISDOM are set to debut their new video on MTV2 Headbangers Ball for all of the fans to bang their heads and throw horns in the air to, for their second single “Bleed All Over Me’. “Hopefully people will like the new single and the video. Dean Karr did his thing. The song is about my co-dependency. No matter how much therapy I have, I can’t seem to kick it.” Jada states, “We are really excited about the new video for our 2nd single “Bleed All Over Me”. The video is basically about resurrecting those aspects of ourselves we kill to make other people happy with us. Every aspect of who we are is what makes us whole. You kill one part of ourselves, we don’t realize it destroys the foundation of who we are.”
Wicked Wisdom had such a great time on the Sevendust tour. “All the bands were so cool. Sevendust has some of the best fans. We made a lot of friends out there. We have a list of some of our favorite cities. Places we are fans of like Appleton Wisconsin, Nashville Tennessee, Boise Idaho, Spokane Washington, Norfolk Virginia, Atlantic City NJ, Sayreville NJ, Albuquerque New Mexico, Waterloo Iowa, Merrill Wisconsin, Madison Wisconsin, Maplewood Minnesota, All of Texas…just to name a few.” Jada Pinkett Smith explains, “Touring for 3 months was hard but I believe that the grind really helped get our game tight. We have some more work to do but we made some big leaps in that time.”
WW thoroughly enjoyed seeing some of their buddies come out and hang during the tour. Braun and Brent from Mastodon came out as well as the Bury Your Dead crew. Jada and the band was ecstatic over the short but quality visits on the tour and states, “ We have a lot of fun clownin’ and shit. Mark from Bury Your Dead was here last night and he let us here some tracks from the new album. All I can say is their new album is going to smash on jokers.”
WICKED WISDOM plan on jumping back on tour in May.
“Bleed All Over Me” video concept:
Wicked Wisdom’s debut video is at such a level that it’ll be the blue print for many videos to come. Directed by Dean Karr (Slayer, Iron Maiden, Tommy Lee, Seether, Jason Mraz, Three Days Grace, Everlast, Cypress Hill, Puddle of Mudd, Velvet Revolver, Mudvayne, Queens of the Stone Age, Godsmack, 3 Doors Down, Catherine Wheel, Dave Mathews Band, Deftones, Duran Duran, Marilyn Manson) this video will win over fans like the band did with their recent touring life with Sevendust.
”Bleed All Over Me” is a concept video which features an ELDER as she walks through an ancient burial ground to the opening drum. A deep blue, stormy clouded sky lies in the distance. It is nightime. The ELDER throws glowing phosphorus seeds to the sacred ground like Johnny Appleseed, the seeds glow and slowly dissolve into the ground, the faint light they emit pewters out. We see black and red flowers grow upwards through the soil, suddenly a clenched fist breaks the dirt from below, then a second one! The hands then lift a cracked clay version of Jada (always sexy) from the shallow grave. She is sensually shrouded in some decayed ancient fabric. Rolling onto her stomach while delivering the opening lines of "Bleed all Over Me", she claws her way through the landscape floating inches above the ground. She floats past several makeshift tombstones, we cut to tight macro shots of her hands clawing the soil, steering her hovering body through the scene.
Pocket, Rio, Fish, Cameron and Korel rip it up in another area of the burial ground. This setup will incorporate dead trees laiden with black crows. Their performance will be fast, unruly and electrified. Having seen them perform at L.A.'s HOB I am certain I can deliver their best performance to date! Multiple speed playback will give us various looking footage for a killer edit! They are dressed in a generally "decayed" wardrobe of all black and grays, with silver accents of jewelry.
Jada stops and hovers for a moment...... suddenly with the first bridge of the song, six cracked clay heads pop up from under the ground as if summoned by the floating Jada. She will finish the verse withing the field of swaying heads, who's eyes remained closed while she whispers lyrics into their ears.
Dollying along further, Jada floats along the ground until she reaches a pair of bare feet, leading to a bandaged and shrouded mysterious figure standing straight up (loosely wrapped mummy like figure). With a look of ecstacy, Jada reaches for the feet with beautific adornment. She will rise and slowly circle the figure, while unraveling the bandages, soon revealing what lies beneath. The cloudy night blue horizon has now turned to Orange. A spell-like smoke emits out of her mouth while she makes her circles. The figure begins showing the shape of a beautiful woman who has the word PAIN scarred into her abdomen, the wounds are fresh and still drip a little blood. We create great tension as Jada is now about to unravell the head of the figure. Revealed is a second Jada with wonderful fantasy style makeup and wardrobe. She's a super heroine off of an old cover of Heavy Metal magazine. The old Jada is now replaced with the new, who joins the band to wind the song down. A great chrysallis has morphed into a burning rock icon. |
