Ragers’ Music Video for “Persepolis” is a War-Torn Circus Overdose

The Montreal-based outfit take you on a wild trip in their latest video.

Ragers are the experimental live trio with an electronic rap-rock flare. The music video to their latest track, "Persepolis" will likely make you question your life forever.

"Persepolis" is a culmination of several orchestral instruments flush with a steady loop of foreign samples. The unlikely pairing meshes with the visuals of flame-breathing belly dancers and fog-infused army drills to create a graceful chaos.

The storyline follows a group of masked characters, seemingly les Ragers themselves, and plenty of fire stunts. Be sure to bookmark this one and revisit it the next time you decide to appease the firebug inside you.

You can check out the Ragers live at their gig during Canadian Music Week (CMW), on May 8 at the Coalition Lounge.
