With 7 albums under his belt and a hyperactive live act, 'El Fin de la Humanidad' (The End of Humanity) is the first single of his Realpolitik album. The song mocks how Western culture is influenced by Christianity in such a way that we're not only looking for our savior to come, but also for the apocalypse that will end us once and for all, be it through war, a pandemic, AIDS, or the Y2K bug. Spoiler alert: we're still alive and kicking. This overload of news, conspiracy theories, and doomed messages is a noise we can't cut through, engulfing us as a means of control by those in power. Well, noise is also the trademark of the dirty, gritty electro-industrial genre, a kind of synesthetic approach for the music video. Directed by Colombian-born, Madrid-based director David Carrizales and produced by the global agency and production company Binalogue, the El Fin de la Humanidad music video uses visual noise and exploits Hypervuur's magnetic stage persona to level up the song's psychedelia.
