Music video
Recording and production
The video for 'Ov Fire and the Void' was filmed by Grupa 13 in Wrocaw, Poland and was directed by 'Dariusz Szermanowicz'. Both parties had previously worked on the video for 'At The Left Hand Ov God'. Behemoth began working on the project in early July 2009 and they aimed to have its premiere in late July / early August, just preceding the release of 'Evangelion'.While filming the video in July, the band wanted to keep their fans informed by filming and posting behind the scene material.
On July 30 the trailer aired on YouTube, offering a glimpse into the theme of the video, followed by the premiere of the final video also on YouTube on August 6, just before the release of their album 'Evangelion' which was released on August 7 in Europe.
Censorship
On August 7, 2009, a day after the premiere of the video, the uncensored version of the video was removed from YouTube, causing a backlash from fans. The band uploaded a censored version of the video in response, and re-uploaded the original version to their Metal Blade page using Vimeo.References
