Synopsis

Think About Mutation perform their industrial crossover version of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Two Tribes" while footage from Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun supplies the visual setting. The band appears in a stark, militarized environment, wearing distinctive helmets connected to the single's artwork, as game cutscenes show soldiers, commanders, machinery, and a world shaped by escalating conflict. The combination turns the song into a compact promotional piece for the game's war-torn science-fiction universe.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Two Tribes" is a cover of the 1984 Frankie Goes to Hollywood song, reworked by the Leipzig crossover band with a heavier industrial-metal sound.
  • The video was made to promote Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun and uses footage from the game's full-motion-video sequences. The track was promoted as an unofficial German theme for the game, although it was not part of Tiberian Sun's in-game soundtrack.
  • Think About Mutation were reportedly among the first 200 people in Germany to play Tiberian Sun. Their early access helped inspire the video's direct use of the game's imagery.
  • The band members' helmets echo the imagery used on the single cover, where the performers are reflected in the helmet visor worn by a central female figure.
  • The video was shot in Berlin on July 21, 1999, during a 23-hour production.
  • The enhanced 1999 single included the video as a CD-ROM data track, alongside the audio tracks "Two Tribes," "Angel," and "Breaktime 42."
  • The single was released on August 30, 1999, and the video premiered the same day on the German music channel VIVA Zwei.
  • Think About Mutation performed the song at the official Tiberian Sun launch event in Berlin on August 20, 1999.
