Today, Finnish upstart melodic death metal band SIGIR share a new single, “Rainmaker”, accompanied by a new music video.
“Rainmaker” follows previous singles, “The Lantern” and “Depraved” and is written by guitarist and lead vocalist Viljami Toikkanen who tells about the process:
“‘Rainmaker’ tells a story of a godhead, whose purpose here is to make rain. In songs lyrics we deal with the idea that rain itself is a mandatory for all life, but the Rainmakers mission is to make a storm with it.”
Viljami continues:
“The music video follows a story of this Rainmaker helplessly trying to make rain. In the last chorus, he remembers the right spell for it and the rain finally begins. For this music video, we got one of the most recognizable actors in Finland, Aku Hirviniemi who plays the main character in the video. We filmed it in two locations. First half was in Joel Korhonen´s film studio, second half and all the shots with Rainmaker we filmed at former copper mine at Orijärvi.”
The music video for “Rainmaker” was directed and shot and edited by Joel Korhonen.
