Message is pretty obvious from video and song title. The time-honored us tradition of "arming the 'savages'" and then getting mad when we suffer backlash after instigating and participating in violence in their homelands.
I also like the lyrics to this song (they're brilliant): We never ever change. We make the same mistakes. If you're gonna have roads, youre gonna have roadkill. Thats the risk that it takes: stone guns, primitive tanks. Base emotions drive the horde. The diplomat takes the rook from the board. I want to know what was in the briefcase. Colder than cold war, enemies without uniforms.
I think the movement of the white-masked guy was stop-motion. That's what really had me going! Plus the coloration and special effects just looked very sick. This is definitely a fresh breath of air from the overwhelming cliche of "Shaky camera in a dark room while performing" videos.
Anybody who's seen 2001 knows the briefcase represents power through the knowledge of how to manipulate. Man has learned how to impose his will on others. Really awesome video. Anyone know who came up with the concept?
***** bullshit, africa was always devided into many tribes, most of them barbaric (in modern terms)... it was NEVER peaceful. In every area you had constant wars of land, racism, food, religion and etc... Actually the white people from europe CALMED the wars in africa, Africa knew its biggest peace while being ruled by the europeans. Later when the decolonization started being popular and the Africans wanted independence, they took most of what the europeans built, and threw everything to shit as before...
This makes so much sense even in the abstract way it was displayed, but that's grind for you, the video reminds my a lot of Napalm Death, which are my favorite band of all time. U can't have no diplomats unless u have war, pretty simple message, so vividly expressed, so awesome, thumbs up!
THis was so uniquely fucked up and demented, everything I imagined from what a Pig Destroyer video truely should be. Sick, make a video for every track, please!
Some people know exactly what is intended with these lyrics and then some more>Maybe some like to keep it for themselves as a lot of people tend to do with Piggy D material.Don`t judge man!You sound diplomatic and "holier than thou."
That jacket gave the whole message behind the video away. lol. Do your research on the history of America's relationship with the formerly known "freedom fighters."
What do you have against violence? It's just being all quiet, minding it's own business. In fact... it looks all furry and cute, and I want to pet it. Scratch behind it's ear. A little violence never hurt nobody.
@vestibule1443 are tons of special effects going on here. Green screen, when done realistically, is WAY harder to edit than most people make it out to be. There are also tons of little effects like speed-up and stop-motion techniques that most people won't even consciously notice just for the sake of making the video more intense. You have no idea what it takes to edit.
Well if Pig Destroyer was trying to achieve a pop music sound here, then this would be a shitty pop song, but they're going for grind and this is some pretty damn good grindcore.
i have a pretty general idea of what the message behind this video is, but I would appreciate it if someone elaborated fairly deeply on what the message is. I'm just very interested in understanding.

monolith of inhumanity is the album that saved my life. Piggy and Cattle need to do a split and they know it too.

true that
Nice broski
That opening scream/growl/grunt whatever you want to call it absolutely makes this song.
reminded me of lord worm
0:49 OOOOOOAAAAGGGHHHHHH!!!
Relapse records is such a killer label!

12 years later and it's still better than any video I've seen since.
Holly shit this video is legendary. Opened up for the music stayed for the video.
I think the movement of the white-masked guy was stop-motion. That's what really had me going! Plus the coloration and special effects just looked very sick. This is definitely a fresh breath of air from the overwhelming cliche of "Shaky camera in a dark room while performing" videos.
keep coming back. no hyperbole, greatest music video ever? yes
I can't even imagine what kind of work went into editing this. This is an incredible video.
the video is genius
Best. Video. Ever. I love the crazy facial expressions that cross the Diplomat's face.
Anybody who's seen 2001 knows the briefcase represents power through the knowledge of how to manipulate. Man has learned how to impose his will on others.
Really awesome video. Anyone know who came up with the concept?
I came here to ask if they were related ^^ After watching the 2001 I got a better grasp of Monolith of Inhumanity as well.
Love both videos. Love the 2001 concepts of both.
ExplosionWard9 k
I would argue it’s a primate thing honestly
amazing. one of the most original videos i have seen in quite a while
that my friends ...was awesome!!!
Nothing left to say, to add or comment..... thank you PD !!! You rule !!!!
Silencer is one of my fav bands to listen on these cold winter nights...
I love the rifle "tings" really adds to the message
Great band, song, and video. Very creative
Thanks Mr. Donovan!! This ROCKS!! Love those riffs!!

I'd love to see a "making of" video for this!
Mind blowing, too good.

And I love it!
'Da bomb.... It's so raw and abrasive! As usual!
This is my new favorite video. just awesome!
got my preorder deluxe CD and shirt today... awesome
See if I knew Grindcore was like this, I would have given the genre more of a chance. this is great.
People are always saying music videos these days are weird, but never have I seen something like this....
Вся суть нынешних мировых событий в клипе 2012 года.
Not the biggest fan of this band by any means but this video is one of the most artistic ive seen in a while
Didn't this happen in history once
Yeah, several times actually.
when white men went to africa
ANTEKHRIST (Black Metal) pretty much anywhere I'd say
+ANTEKHRIST (Black Metal) Its not like Africa was ever peaceful...
***** bullshit, africa was always devided into many tribes, most of them barbaric (in modern terms)... it was NEVER peaceful. In every area you had constant wars of land, racism, food, religion and etc...

Later when the decolonization started being popular and the Africans wanted independence, they took most of what the europeans built, and threw everything to shit as before...
Not really into this style of Metal, but this video is seriously awesome. Very well done and carries a great message.
99 people are wrong. I love this video.
the backdrop for this video looks very similar to the album cover for come my fanatics by electric wizard!
Best music video of 2012.
This makes so much sense even in the abstract way it was displayed, but that's grind for you, the video reminds my a lot of Napalm Death, which are my favorite band of all time. U can't have no diplomats unless u have war, pretty simple message, so vividly expressed, so awesome, thumbs up!
nice song, brilliant video.
The world needs to look like this
Hard to believe this video is 8 years old now
Great video, great concept
Awesome creative video and a sick band. Love it.
THis was so uniquely fucked up and demented, everything I imagined from what a Pig Destroyer video truely should be. Sick, make a video for every track, please!
That was freaking awesome!
Love this video. Repo Man + 2001 + PxDx + LSD + that video on youtube with the African soldiers giving the ape an AK = this video
You got it, it's about mankind.
Great vid. The diplomat dude is so insane looking.
Very original !!! Nice work !!
i love the intro so much

current status of the world I would say.

+Robert Murray I'm sorry but that is not him
+steven kitchens You are forgiven.

AWESOME!!!! I love this band!

this is the greatest video of all time LOL this band is too sick!
I'm no film expert, but I believe if you take out a couple of frames you get that creepy glitch effect on body movement, the video is awesome though
So cool!
"After his failed career as a villian in a computer game, Slenderman decided to get into the music video business"
really awesome !
Great message too.
Amazing!
Song starts at 0:38
i have no idea what make of this video its purely amazing though
This whole video is a acid induced fever dream
the briefcase is the forbidden fruit and everybody wants a bite
That was really cool!
Very, very much!!
Piiiiiiiiggg DEESTROOOYEEER!
I see they've increased their budget since 'Piss Angel'!
Incredible
Hey Relapse! When are you going to change the description to "Taken from the critically acclaimed album"?
Sad but true
awesome, brilliant

Grind on boys!!!

That is Bad ass!
Badass!

Wow good song and crazy vid
Dude, I totally see it.
Bad ass video, bad ass band

That dude is great.
Well if Pig Destroyer was trying to achieve a pop music sound here, then this would be a shitty pop song, but they're going for grind and this is some pretty damn good grindcore.
Hell yes.
Badass song, stupid simplistic message. It's how it goes. Anyway, it's a good tune to turn to when doing heavy deads or squats.
Is this from the same director of High On Fire's Fertile Green?
Human greed in 4 minutes and 37 seconds.
Great metal 🤘💀🤘🎸
Poder absoluto

Joder este vídeo es una obra maestra

i have a pretty general idea of what the message behind this video is, but I would appreciate it if someone elaborated fairly deeply on what the message is. I'm just very interested in understanding.
The briefcase holds the demiurges confused blind chaotic malevolence..
