Капитал (Capital)

Probably the best videoclip I’ve seen in years (for more than one reason). The band playing is Lyapis Trubetskoy (or Ляпис Трубецкой) and it is from Belarus! (the official website seems to be down, which prevents us from knowing much more about him/them/etc.).

• Get the average quality quicktime here
• Watch on youtube (not even worth it if you ask me)

Even more images here, in case you’re not convinced yet!
The guys who made it claim to have invented bullet-time. Mad-genious kind of people. Their website in russian or english (what I watched there doesn’t even come near to this videoclip).

Oh, and I have no idea what the lyrics are saying, but I’ll find out, anyway these are pretty in-your-face:

According to a youTube comment the lyrics are:

I dine
Gold bars
Diamond for dessert
Oil cream

My name is Beelzebub
Master of the Stratosphere
I’m realy cool
Respect to me infinity

On the left hand Snickers
On the right hand Mars
My PR manager is Carl Marx

I dine cities
I am drinking seas
My beard covers the sky
Thunders and lightnings, fogs and rains
Ministers and leaders kiss my boots
