THEME: VICIOUS CIRCLE OF WAR.
In combination with the lyrics and atmosphere of the song, we created our own vision of the circle, adding the symbol of fire, that stands for power, passion and transformation, but also destruction.

Starting with where it all ends, part I describes the trauma that persists through time in a shape of bloody memories of warriors, but also the witnesses. Time is irrelevant, relative, and with part II we are taken to the immediate aftermath of a war, featuring burning, abandoned battlefields, slow deaths and countless prayers. Part III goes inside the minds of warriors who survived, but who now see the world with different eyes, the eyes of preying monsters. Part IV is focused on the inability of the innocent to survive, finding themselves in front of a burning light taking away everything they loved and cared about, unable to change their fate. The following Part V signifies the loss of hope and sanity, as the last, sole warrior falls into desperation and madness thinking about all that is lost and will never be the same. The transition to part VI represent surrender. However, revenge can be a powerful force that drives people to wage war even on those closest to them, and in part VI we've chosen revenge to represent the turning point because more often than not, it follows and supports the idea of a vicious circle. Therefore, the power of revenge fuels the last stand, depicted in Part VII, as the defeated warrior fights one last time for his pride, and manages to retaliate and to bring this battle to another status quo.
Hope is omnipresent, therefore parts VIII and IX follow the idea that from the worst experiences the best lessons can be learned, and they press on with the hope to win the next upcoming battle. By part X, the hope has already turned to pride and belief in oneself, and the war is ready to begin, once again. The battle continues deep into part XI, and at its peak moment, the clash of all we've ever known, we're taken inside the warrior's minds. Part XII represents the Hellish transformation which occurs between friends and comrades, in the midst of heinous monsters. Part XIII and XIV go back to real time, for a final showdown between the two sides... Which side has won? Replay the video and find out. :)

This past week was a great experience. I love hosting MEPs and I'm really passionate about them, and although I usually host only within my team (ENP) I decided it may be time to try something different. Honestly I'm so happy that ShitofHole somehow became a server and now an editing group too. I am so grateful to all of my lovely teammates for doing their best and pulling through this ambitious project. No matter what happens now, I am super satisfied with the outcome and I'll be watching this MEP with a smile for many years to come.

Special thanks to xKouhai for helping with all kinds of MEP-related stuff!
