Filming the Vision
We have created four cinematic music videos to visually represent the themes of our music and the messages we wish to convey.
From the furious cries of the Sirens to the death march of living hell, Craving embraces the darkness of life and presents it in a visually striking way.
The videos follow a clear narrative arc, exploring themes of despair, loss, addiction, and the narcissistic harm caused by psychopaths.
Call of the Sirens
While Call of the Sirens tells a clear story of not following distractions and toxic personalities, in the video it becomes clear that the protagonists are not up for the challenge and will meet their doom in the lake of death!
Furious Melodic Black Metal meets Death Metal, fast blast beats and an Epic to the Core Chorus – the definite trademarks of Craving! Featuring Michelle Bouma and Esther Sarai Deviers on guest vocals! Like Odysseus would follow the sirens, you will follow her call!
Gods Don’t Negotiate!
Have you ever tried to negotiate with a person suffering from a God complex? Our hint for you: don’t even try to.
You will only end up tricked, damaged, or cold dead and gone because Gods Don’t Negotiate!
Follow us on this dark path of violence and rage – full of blast beats, epic choruses and violent screams!
Adding his blistering lead guitar skills to the song –
Marek “Ashok” Smerda (Cradle of Filth, Titanic) is our Top guest on Gods Don’t Negotiate!
Blood ov Franconia
Can you survive one second without booze?
Well, the people from the city Bamberg in Bavaria seem to not be able to! The state has over 11 breweries in the city and over 40 in the surrounding area. During a year one Bambergian is drinking approximately 280 liters of beer, the German average consumption per head is 110 liters.
So come and get wasted with us in Bamberg, the City of Pregnant Men at the iconic Schlenkerla!
This tune follows the more light-hearted yet powerful side of Craving and will be welcome at every Craving show further on!
Powerful Melodies meet Black Metal and Death Metal!
Death March
Have you ever been in hell?
Sometimes life guides you through it, but you have to push yourself and withstand the suffering!
Death March follows the epic path of previous Craving songs like ‘Penelopes’ Prayer’ or ‘Wenn der Wind sich dreht’ and delivers an epic feast for melodic death metal and black metal fans. Shot in a burned down ruin the video perfectly represents the inner struggle the protagonist is experiencing.

Unleashing the Vision
Produced by the band in the medieval town of Bamberg and surrounding area within one week, those four artistic videos were published in 2023 prior to the unleashing of the Siren’s savage cry via Massacre Records in may the same year.
