Description: Icarus Six Sixty Six is an intergalactic musical VR experience. The pulsing metal symphony sets the tone for the intense and colorful ride through space. Icarus Six Sixty Six samples a track from Brendon Small’s new album, “Galaktikon II: Become the Storm.” Brendon Small is the mastermind behind metal band DETHKLOK and albums “The Dethalbum” and “Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem.” Award-winning animator and director, Dylan Carter directed Icarus Six Sixty Six and Titmouse president and owner, Chris Prynoski and Antonio Canobbio, Titmouse creative director created the art using the audio reactive brushes in Tilt Brush, Google’s virtual reality app.
Review: Icarus Six Sixty Six is a non-interactive music video from the Techno -heavy Rock band of the same name. This is a 2-minute music video with neon flashes, crazy visuals and of course a hard-rock soundtrack taken from the bands album Galaktikon II: Become the Storm. There are no if’s or but’s about it. You will either enjoy this or hate this and while I put myself into the enjoyment category of people I have seen much better VR music videos. It is free at least so why not give it a go yourself and let me know what you think about it in the comments below.
