Director B.J. Harring comments: "When setting out to do this project, I felt we had to do "The Funerary Dirge of a Violinist" because the piece had a soul. I have a very personal connection to the casualties of war having lost a family member in Afghanistan and wanted to explore what I believe these soldiers experience while serving on the front lines, which is what the piece is all about. The story of the violinist in particular, his frailty in the face of suffering and death, which ultimately leads to his undoing, is one that I feel everyone can connect to. The paranormal connection at the end of the piece was then meant to serve as a sort of bow to tie the story together as well as bring everything back home to Carach Angren and what they represent. The band was meant to appear in the piece from the beginning but we realized quickly that the piece could stand on its own strictly on the power of their words and musicality which goes back to the thought that they put into each song that they craft. It was a tough shoot logistically, utilizing a small but very talented crew who all bought into the heart of the story and who understood the gravity of the story we were trying to tell. We knew that the only way to make this piece convincing was that everything had to be authentic, so everything we used, from the guns and uniforms to the pyro and effects, was real. To see how thick the smoke is and how close we were able to stage the effects, you become transported back and are suddenly able to grasp and understand the stakes of what these soldiers are experiencing. We tried to be honest with the piece while still staying true to the band and I believe we encompassed enough horror and shock and emotion that everyone will be pleased."

Violonists usually place their fingers on the strings of their instrument when they play.

I'm sorry, but this video just doesn't do any justice to the song. "The Funerary Dirge of a Violinist" is a very well composed song with the most captivating lyrics. The lyrics itself paints a better picture than the video that was directed for this song. I'm very glad the video was made, I just wish it had more than cheap acting and effects. It deserves a Saving Private Ryan type quality

When Virtual Reality hits the public, it would be interesting to see a virtual tour of this entire album so you can truly understand the terror the solider faces going through the loop.

The same sublime moment of solidarity took place in the battle for Stalingrad, when, on New Year's Eve of December 31 1942, Russian actors and musicians visited the besieged city to entertain the troops; the violinist Mikhail Goldstein went to the trenches to perform a one-man concert for the soldiers:"The melodies he created drifted out through loudspeakers to the German trenches and the shooting suddenly ceased. In the eerie quiet, the music flowed from Goldstein's dipping bow.When he finished, a hushed silence hung over the Russian soldiers. From another loudspeaker, in German territory, a voice broke the spell. In halting Russian it pleaded: 'Play some more Bach. We won't shoot.'Goldstein picked up his violin and started a lively Bach gavotte."
