The Dirty Nil - Pain of Infinity
The Dirty Nil is an alternative rock trio based in Hamilton, comprising singer/guitarist Luke Bentham, bassist Ross Miller and drummer Kyle Fisher.
The song is about being done with a relationship. The video showcases the members of the band acting as reapers that are performing horribly at their job - which is collecting souls. In relation to the video the lyrics could be interpreted as showing the reapers are done with their boss and their job. However, in reality the song is about a girl, and being done/over her.
The video has dark and creepy elements but we see comedic relief at the end, which helps round it out.
