Today’s video of the day is This Morn’ Omina – “StitchFace (Knife Of Megiddo)” released in 2003.
This Morn’ Omina, a pioneering force in the industrial and tribal electronica scene, introduced a lesser-known gem during the spring of 2003: “StitchFace (Knife Of Megiddo).” While it was a rarity in their live repertoire, the significance of this track echoes through its visual counterpart, captured now for posterity in a raw and unpolished form. As part of the “the fourth guy on stage” series, This Morn’ Omina utilized background projections to augment their live performances, transforming the auditory experience into a visual journey. “StitchFace (Knife Of Megiddo)” was a fleeting presence, only gracing the stage during 3 or 4 shows, rendering this video a precious glimpse into a moment frozen in time.
For ardent fans, this is an exclusive opportunity to witness what was once a transient element of their live sets. However, the band has made it clear that this particular piece won’t return to their live performances, adding a layer of rarity and intrigue to this visual representation. Despite the inherent limitations of the equipment used—hence the lower quality captured on VHS—the video emanates a captivating allure. The creative genesis draws from a blend of the track’s essence and the cinematic influences prevalent during that period, creating an audio-visual amalgamation that is as enigmatic as it is mesmerizing. “StitchFace (Knife Of Megiddo)” resides as the centerpiece on the A-side of the Cyclops II 7-inch, a collector’s item released on Spectre—long sold out, heightening its mystique and value among enthusiasts.
