Like a Knife

Visually, the video impresses with its high-contrast black and white aesthetic, which emphasises the melancholy mood of the song. The production plays with light and shadow, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The camerawork is dynamic and captures both the intensity of the performance and the emotional depth of the song.

Musically, ‘Like a Knife’ moves between darkwave and post-punk, characterised by striking guitar riffs and a driving rhythm. The singer’s haunting voice conveys a mixture of longing and pain that casts a spell over the listener.

Overall, On the Brink succeeds in creating an audiovisual experience with ‘Like a Knife’ that is both musically and visually convincing. The video complements the song perfectly and offers a deep insight into the band’s artistic vision.
