QUEENSRYCHE recently filmed a mini movie called QUEENSRYCHE: Ad Lucem. The movie features the tracks "Spore", "Midnight Lullaby" and "A World Without" from the band's recently released self-titled new album. The three tracks will provide the score to a 10-plus minute story and was filmed by director Daniel Andres Gomez Bagby, produced by Marco De Molina at Central City Stages last month.
Vocalist Todd La Torre had this to say:
"We decided to take a different approach with this video, which is comprised of three pieces of music from our latest self-titled release, QUEENSRYCHE. It’s a conceptual mini-movie music video that invites the audience to scratch beneath the surface a bit, rather than the usual "chewed food" that so many are used to being fed. We really wanted to deviate from a performance type of video so the music and story-line could be the main focus. The overall theme of the song "Spore" is one that deals with personal demons, relationship struggles, career pressures, personal/professional morals and ethical dilemmas. These are issues we all face on some level and the video touches upon them all. "Midnight Lullaby"/"A World Without" deals with the loss of a mother during childbirth, leaving a father as a single parent and struggling to move forward through the turmoil. The end result is a roller coaster of emotion in an effort to find a healthy resolve. Given our history, we feel that this multifaceted conceptual video, along with a great cast of actors to suit, will really resonate with our fans."
