Music video

The music video to the song "Wake Up" appears to be focused on a young woman experiencing an extreme LSD trip, and is contradicted by the lines " Wake Up/ wake Up/ this is no hallucination". The video consists of psychedelic displays and atmosphere whilst the band is performing and the woman's trip continues as frontman Mitch Lucker tries to focus her out of it. As the video progresses and the guitar solo starts, the guitar seems to change into some kind of tentacle. The woman finally opens her eyes by the video's end.

The music video was directed by David Brodski. [2]
