<b>Bardi Johannsson</b> recently announced the details of <b>Bang Gang</b>’s long-awaited new album, and today the haunting, cinematic video for the lead single “<b>Out Of Horizon</b>” is released. “Out Of Horizon” is a soaring, melodic track which has been
given a chilling treatment by Colombian director <b>Luis Vanegas,</b> who won the online music video competition via
<b>Genero.TV.</b> “When I first came across the opportunity to make this video I was thrilled - I loved Bang Gang's single as soon as I heard it…It was visually powerful and I knew I had to make this video,” said Vanegas. “This collaboration with Bardi and
Bang Gang was a dream job for me, Nicolás Caballero (co-director) and the entire team.”
