Icelandic pop favourites Of Monsters and Men released another cinematic visual for their new single, ‘Wild Roses, off their new Fever Dream album.

Inspired by Scandinavian horror cinema, the eerie visual sees frontwoman Nanna Hilmarsdóttir floating and dancing atop a pool.

As the water starts to fill with blood, the water starts to mimic Hilmarsdóttir’s hypnotic movements, that’s looks like a scene out of James Cameron’s The Abyss.

When it came to bringing the visual to life, the band tapped Icelandic director Þóra Hilmars, who they had talked about working together for years.

“‘Wild Roses’ shows an introverted side to the album and is inspired by what it is like to lean into your sadness,” shared Hilmarsdóttir in a statement.

“We wanted to capture that feeling in a performance for the music video, while bringing out a bit of uneasiness as well. So, we brought on choreographer Stella Rosenkranz to help create the movements you see. We also knew that we wanted to shoot the video in water with a bit of blood. To achieve this, director Þóra Hilmars immediately came to mind. The video was shot in a span of 12 hours in a beautiful and eerie swimming pool in Hafnaförður, Iceland, hours before going to the airport and starting our Fever Dream tour. We’re very happy with the outcome and are truly excited to share this with everyone.”

‘Wild Roses’ comes off the group’s critically-acclaimed album, Fever Dream, that was released this past summer. After their album debuted at No.1 on the Rock Albums Chart, Of Monsters and Men continue their world tour, having just wrapped up the North American leg of ‘The Fever Dream Tour’ and will continue onto its UK/Europe run with a sold-out show in Dublin on 23 October.
