Well there's a band we've seen, they know our names - they're called Zero Cipher and by the looks of it are here to stay!

Opening with a nice guitar extreme close-up, 'Fist Of The North Star' draws you in straight away with the short, awesome riff before jumping straight into the song. The video's concept is great how you see the band performing in a darkened empty room, with shoots of light in every corner.

The track they play is so catchy that even my 2yr old was singing and dancing away to it!

The idea of seeing this band standing alone playing to themselves then catching a glimpse of someone else watching in, all dressed in white, gave a layer of eeriness to the scene. Before you know it the room quickly fills out with people in white, all appearing as if from nowhere!

The mid-section of the song kicks in with force, and punches itself out just as hard, and these static background figures are all jumping around like lunatics in the way that the song deserves, until you hear the big ending...

BLACKOUT
