[edit] Music videos
Four music videos were done to promote the album:
- "Get Your Body Beat" was directed by Agata Alexander and features scenes from the biopunk film The Gene Generation from director Pearry Teo. This video may be viewed on YouTube as well as the band's official website.
- "Electrohead": The band posted a bulletin on their website and myspace, "We will be shooting a video for "Electrohead" on Friday February 2, in Los Angeles, at Das Bunker. If you want to be a part of the video, dress hot or "crazy", and show up early. We expect to see all of the So Cal CC Army out for this. Doors open at 10pm." However, after reviewing the material shot during the performance, the footage was found too dark to use due to the venues poor lighting. The band then opted to re-shoot the live video portion in North Carolina. "Electrohead" was officially released on June 10, 2007 via MySpace video.
- "Deathbed" was released on May 7, 2007. LaPlegua posted the band's new video on his livejournal and on YouTube. This time the video was filmed and directed by LaPlegua with help from Agata Alexander who also directed the "Get Your Body Beat" video.
- "Fuck That Shit": The video was animated and directed entirely by Brandon Duncan of corporatedemon.com. After viewing Duncan's online portfolio, LaPlegua quickly asked Duncan to animate the video. The video was initially posted through YouTube on the official Combichrist MySpace page, but a much higher quality version has since been posted at http://corporatedemon.com/12/09/2007/combichrist-fk-that-st/.
