"Mountain Magick was shot in the northern reaches of the Olympic Mountains and the ancient forests that shroud the foothills," say the band. "We wrote the story, created the costumes, shot the footage and did the editing ourselves, so it is a true product of our hearts and souls. Creating our own videos has been a long standing dream and now It’s very exciting to bring these visions into the cinematic realm."
