In a collision of rock and pop, No Resolve and From Ashes To New have unleashed a rock cover of Michael Jackson’s iconic Thriller, just in time to send shivers down our spines this spooky season. Released on the eerily perfect date of Friday the 13th, the music video is a thrilling homage, with a rock twist, to the King of Pop’s legendary track.
A Nod to the Original with a Rock Edge
The collaboration between No Resolve and From Ashes To New brings forth a fresh yet nostalgic take on Thriller. While maintaining the eerie essence of the original, the bands infuse their signature rock elements, creating a rendition that is both familiar and novel. The synergy between the bands is palpable, providing a robust and electrifying auditory experience that is bound to resonate with rock and pop enthusiasts alike.
Choreography that Honors and Innovates
In a brilliant move, the bands enlisted Glenn Douglas Packard, a choreographer with a rich history with Michael Jackson himself, and the INstitute of Dancers to direct the choreography and movement. Packard, who earned a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for his work on the Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Special, brings a unique authenticity to the project. The choreography intertwines the iconic Thriller dance with fresh, innovative moves, providing a visual feast that honors the original while showcasing contemporary creativity.
The music video, directed by Drake Whelton and produced by Noise Machine Records and Drew Jacobs, features a talented cast that brings the music video to life.
