Blessthefall release '40 Days' music video - and it's hilarious

       After almost a year after the release of their third studio album Awakening, Arizona metalcore quintet Blessthefall have released a video for "40 Days"...and it's pretty damn funny. Set against the pretense of a mysterious "swamp gas leak", frontman Beau Bokan and his new wife Lights Poxleitner are killed and buried, much to guitarist Eric Lambert's chagrin (he tearfully bemoans the surplus of merch and the need to find a new singer).
        Nevertheless, Bokan mysteriously rises from the grave! What follows is four minutes of silliness as he tries to find a date (via 'Awakeningdates.com'), chugs Rockstar (in a hilariously obvious plug), and eventually gives in to his zombie urges (it involves glowing pizza).
        It's a very funny ride from start to finish. Blessthefall have always had an inherent sense of humor on stage, and this is one of the first times it's been translated to a music video (a previous video for 'Hey Baby, Here's That Song You Wanted' was a seven-minute Hangover-esque odyssey involving pancakes, cheating, and unexpected weddings). That, and the choice to combine a love song bemoaning separation with a music video like this heightens the absurd. To put it quite simply: I was giggling the entire time.
         Blessthefall are currently on tour in Europe with We Came as Romans, Obey the Brave, At the Skylines, and the Browning. And I am so pissed they're not in Canada. You can watch the music video here:

In the unlikely event the band sees this: my congratulations to the happy couple!
