...o'death 'down to rest'
 

Written and Directed by Jonathan Phelps (2007)

O'Death's song "Down to Rest," from their album Head Home, is given visual life in a music video using complex sets, live actors, puppets and stop-motion to tell an elaborate tale of love, murder, revenge, and mankind's spiraling descent into his own hell.

"Never would’ve guessed that O’Death’s ramshackle freak-show Appalachian folk was best illustrated by a trip through the cosmos... yet so go the storyboards for our favorite chain-rattling Brooklyn banjo stompers’ first proper vid. But it isn’t just. The moonshine swing also soundtracks an good ol’ fashioned stick ‘em up at a wild wild west poker game, and gallows of claymation slaves bellowing “lay me…down to rest” straight out of a Tool vid, on a cosmic pirate ship." -stereogum
