I’m the reason for all of this. They call me a killer, a monster, a terrorist. I’m all of these things.
This was an exercise in immediacy. Some videos take me several hours, some take many days, and some take weeks. This one only took a few hours. Two Steps from Hell uploaded this song to their channel today, so I wanted to ride the wave.
