Synopsis
The video places Project 86 in the middle of an absurd, escalating banquet brawl. Suited diners and kitchen staff turn a formal meal into a full-scale food fight while the band performs amid the chaos. Plates, sauces, and other edible ammunition fly across the room, with Andrew Schwab and the others joining the deliberately messy spectacle. The comic visuals contrast with the song's darker subject: the selfish urge to possess what belongs to someone else and the destructive behavior that follows.
Factoids & Trivia
- "Evil (A Chorus of Resistance)" appears as the opening track on Project 86's 2007 album "Rival Factions."
- The song runs for just over three minutes and moves through metal, goth rock, and hardcore influences, reflecting the stylistic experimentation associated with "Rival Factions."
- The video's central food fight was not inspired by the mud fight at Pennsylvania's Purple Door festival. In a 2008 interview, Andrew Schwab described the resemblance as a total coincidence.
- The Kane Mutiny EP included a downloadable copy of the "Evil (A Chorus of Resistance)" music video, giving the release an extra connection to the "Rival Factions" era.
- The clip became particularly memorable among fans for its exaggerated food-based slapstick, including a chef spraying mustard and ketchup directly into a participant's face.
- The song later appeared in the soundtrack for the 2007 video game "WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008."
