Shot in the Old Mine, an astonishingly beautiful mining museum in Outokumpu. “Shield” was directed by the fantastic video artist Sebastian Trzaska, who has worked with Unzyme many times in the past, most notably on “Tied into a frame” and “Lie down in debris” music videos.
Vanha Kaivos is an urban explorer’s dream. Aesthetic that we enjoy. We definitely want to shoot more videos on these premises. Those old concrete walls drip stories like no other underground industrial palace.
“Shield” is a single from Unzyme’s album “Forensics”, out on May 7th, 2021.
This song is the answer to Kent’s question: “Kan du beskydda mig?”.

LYRICS
Get out of the basement
You don’t look too innocent
Get out with the evidence
You’ve less than a minute to blow a hole to the wall
Let the muzzle flashes light up the steps of your escape, gun ballet
I’m waiting here by the gate
It’s time I let you know
You’ve always been a fighter for the power that I own
It’s time I let you know
You’ve always been a shield to me
You let me under your skin
You seemed like a trophy that I could win,
draw you in to the underground empire where I’m the king
but you, trained to kill, are stronger than my will
It’s time I let you know
You’ve always been a fighter for the power that I own
It’s time I let you know
You’ve always been a shield to me
Activate your hate
it has never been awake
Activate your hate
it’s your life that is at stake
It’s time I let you know
You’ve always been a fighter for the power that I own
It’s time I let you know
You’ve always been a shield to me
It’s time I let you know
you stole the show
you made me glow
you were the siren so deceiving that it’s pleasing
and if you want to go
I won’t say no
I’ll always be a shield to you
