Music video
A music video for Louder than Words was released on the band's YouTube channel when the album went on sale . The video focuses on the drying up of the Aral Sea . Large parts of the video were shot by the director Po Powell on the almost dry Aral Sea between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan . Powell contrasts the seemingly surreal landscapes with the hopelessness of a family whose grandfather still owned his own ship , which is now lying as a decaying wreck on the salty seabed.
