Why this vid kicks ass: This is very, very violent, but then that's pretty appropriate for a songvid about war. Steakslim treads a difficult line here, between glorifying violence, and horrifying the viewer, and does it brilliantly. Even though "EpicKU" is very short, the balletic, epic grace of so much beautifully shot bloodshed builds to a climax that always leaves me both disturbed and uplifted, as well as remembering quotes about the middle ages, like: "It was a time of blood and roses."
