Fire Breathers and Mosh Pits Spin into Dizzying Light Tunnels

via

What's more extreme than diving out of an airplane, moshing at a German punk show, and doing backflips on a motocycle? The only answer? Doing all of those things while rotating in a blur of spinning lights to the rock-hard riffs of Düsseldorf punk outfit Die Toten Hosen, a band so awesome their name literally translates to "The Dead Pants." Their song "Weil Du Nur Einmal Lebst" ("Because you have but one life") beds a new video from Lightborne, the design studio whose projection-mapped Super Bowl animations carried Katy Perry away on a firework back in Febuary. In keeping with that theme, their new video opens on a lit fuse, which they spin—sort of like that guy who strapped a GoPro to his car tire—until the colors melt into a mesmerizing tunnel of light. Then, vignettes of extreme sports footage, mosh pits, and a fire-breathing performer take this experiment in cinematic form to the extreme.

The video will double as Die Toten Hosen's visuals during the song throughout their tour in Buenos Aires, which kicks off this Saturday before moving on to Europe in the summer. Watch Weil Du Nur Einmal Lebst below:
