MTV.com reports that Belton, Texas-based quintet FLYLEAF has teamed up with director Meiert Avis (who has helmed clips for a diverse list of artists, including AVRIL LAVIGNE, U2, JACK’S MANNEQUIN, AUDIOSLAVE and BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN) to film a video for the band’s new single, the bracing rocker “Again”. The track comes off “Memento Mori”, the follow-up to FLYLEAF’s hit 2005 self-titled debut, which is scheduled for release on November 10 via A&M/Octone.
“The whole theme is that everything comes to an end,” explained guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya, noting that their album title is a Latin phrase that loosely translates to “remember death.” “But there’s always hope and a bigger picture too.”
The clip was shot entirely in front of a green screen, which allowed the band to perform the song while the mind-bending visuals were added later. “There are these images that start out as light and energy, and they slowly turn into these woodcuts — something real,” Bhattacharya said.
