A wide-angle concert scene, reminiscent of Beksiński’s dark mysticism and Giger’s biomechanical nightmares, with Wood’s rough, atmospheric sensibility. Four masked male performers command the stage – a lead singer singing into a microphone with a fierce presence, a guitarist wielding a flaming hellfire guitar, a bassist weaving dark rhythms on a flaming 4-string guitar, and a drummer unleashing hellish beats in the background, the flaming words “DWS STUDIOZ” written on it. The stage is bathed in warm gold Kodak Ektar-inspired hues and ambient blue-red lighting, with atmospheric haze and sparks dancing in the air. The band members share a similar aesthetic: athletic physiques, red snakeskin-patterned body paint, long black hair, and curved horns. The scene captures Ash Thorp’s majestic cinematic compositions, while Roger Dean’s lighting techniques illuminate the dramatic performance. The stage itself seems alive with hellish energy, as if the concert has turned into a ritual gathering of ancient powers.
