Pentakill Olaf in the Mortal Reminder Music video - thoughts

Hi guys.

So the music video for the song Mortal reminder was released a while ago and there seemed to be tons of positive feedback on it.

Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love it and think that it's amazing that we got a video with such detail in it. But that's also where some of my disappointment comes in.

In the video, each band member is brought to life in such detail and accuracy to what an actual metal band would look like.

It seems like though Olaf got a bit left out. Now playing drams between walls is badass but I mean there's not much detail put into what Olaf is doing. He just standing there slamming his axes against a wall. I know a bit later in the video you can kinda see outlines of drum heads etched in the rock face but I mean come on, the amount of double bass beats in this song is enough to warrant putting at least the big base drum somewhere.

I mean the detail of the guitar and bass shredding, Sona's Etwahl, even freaking Karthus' microphone stand had more effort put into it than Olaf's drums.

At some points it seems like Olaf is not even following the beat. He's just standing there Pressing R on the walls.

I mean the music video is still great and album is sick, just wished that Olaf coulda got a bit more attention.

Thanks.
