Twisted Roots "Hollow Earth" Pays Homage To The Legend Of The "Hollow Earth"

Beyond being known for their powerful live performances, Twisted Roots has always been a band that evolved with each and every release. Their latest offering "Vol 1" is no exception to the rules either. Described as a cross between early Black Sabbath, STP, and the Stone Temple Pilots, the bands first single "Hollow Earth" has been gaining steady airplay on both terrestrial and internet radio stations across the country.

Twisted Roots "Hollow Earth" pays homage to the legend of the "hollow earth"... a second subterranean earth populated by an advanced civilization. The Hollow Earth video puts an unusual but exciting spin on this story. Without giving too much away... the story is told through the eyes of the denizens of the Hollow Earth. The video is produced by Zenfilm and is was shot on locations both above and below Houston, TX. Twisted Roots flew to Texas for the performance portion of the video which was filmed on a specially equipped Houston Soundstage. The narrative portion of the film was shot in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath Houston's multimillion square foot George R. Brown Convention Center... this location was dressed to recreate the lives of our two young protagonists and denizens of the Hollow Earth. The world premier of this HD video is scheduled to be released in early June 09 and run will appear on most major music networks shortly there after.

The video is being lensed by the award winning creative team of director W. Ross Wells and cinematographer Wayne Forster who have created a number of national and internationally released music videos for a variety of recording artists.
