The Lions Mane: ‘Smegma’ Music Video Update

Back in September I mentioned that I had begun work on a music video for progressive grunge rockers The Lions Mane.

The ‘Smegma’ music video was shot in the Mill Studio as The Lions Mane recorded the track for debut offering ‘Strands’, which was due out in December. The CD “did not come into fruition, due to close scrutiny in the mixing stages”, you can read more about it here on the latest update on The Lions Mane MySpace Blog.

Rest assured that ‘Strands’ is on the way and before the Summer will be released online to download with the option of CD or mp3 quality(artwork also included). The actual physical CD will be released closer to the Summer to coincide with live performances. Two additional tracks will accompany this version. You’ll also find the updated track-listing in the latest update.

In addition to the update, The Lions Mane have just released a new track titled ‘Dna 4′, which has now been added to the Myspace Profile and is also available for download!! CHECK IT OUT!

Over the past few months I’ve had a lot of people asking me when they would see the ‘Smegma’ video and although I still can’t give an exact answer to that question, I can say that because of several reasons the editing process was delayed. I’m new to the whole editing game and the purpose of the video was to learn by doing; whilst I’ve shot music videos before this is very different than any of them, simply because of the amount of footage shot.

I’ve got about 9 set-ups covering the drums alone; the footage was shot during the recording process and some things were tweaked during the recording so I’ve got to sync all of it together, along with footage for vocals, bass & two guitars. It’s going to take some time but it’s something I’m looking forward to working on.

I’ll have more updates as the work begins. For now check out ‘Pull It Out’, ‘Leaf’, ‘Buddha’, ‘The Dragon’s Breath’ and brand new track ‘Dna 4′ by The Lions Mane.
