I Exist - Studio video

2011-05-09T12:50:00.000+10:00

I shot some video of I Exist while they were in the studio recording their second album, and edited it together to their song 'Wyvern's Keep'. All shot on a Canon 5DmkII.

I Exist has posted a studio clip of a new song taken from their forthcoming album. 'Wyverns Keep' will feature on the bands new album "II: The Broken Passage" which will be released on June 17 on both CD and LP through Resist Records. To cut the long-player, the band returned to Melbourne’s Goatsound Studios, this time with US producer Billy Anderson helming the desk, whose credits include Sleep’s Sleep’s Holy Mountain and Eyehategod’s Dopesick: both hugely influential records for the band.
