Renowned Guitarist Marty Friedman releases music video for Inferno off forthcoming album

April 23, 2014

    Renowned guitarist Marty Friedman has released a music video for the title track, Inferno which is off his highly anticipated forthcoming album. The album is set to release in North America on May 27th. The concept for the video was inspired by a television show in Japan and is where Marty resides. Marty explains more about the video, “The music video for ‘Inferno’ is an homage/parody of one of my fave Japanese TV shows, ‘Zenryokusaka‘ (‘Full Power Hill’). It’s a weekly five-minute show where the entire premise is absolutely nothing but a girl running up a hill. Each week a different girl, and a different hill. I am hooked on this show, and think it is genius in its simplicity and ever-so-slight sexual nature. It took me a while to explain the charm of the show to the video director, but I think towards the end of making our video together, he got it. It’s like many things that happen outside the culture you were born in; you either get it and it’s fresh [Read More]
