Zeus, 'Marching Through Your Head' -- Video Premiere

The genesis of Zeus occurred while band members Mike O'Brien and Carlin Nicholson were backing up singer-songwriter Jason Collett on the road. Even though they were just hired guns, they had some pretty big shoes to fill considering Collett's "other" band is Broken Social Scene.

While Zeus have got a ways to go before becoming rock legends themselves, somebody better tell that to director Adam Makarenko. Integrating live action performance with stop-motion animation, Makarenko's video for 'Marching Through Your Head' follows the band up the mythical mountainside of Mt. Olympus as they search for the King of the Gods, ruler of the Mount, keeper of the sky -- Zeus, the god. But instead of finding a single deity, they discover that their band Zeus is the god of their namesake.

"We were really inspired by Adam's photos," O'Brien explains to Spinner. "The first time Carlin showed me one of his images, of a freaky digital wolf over a cityscape, we knew that we wanted to do something with him. We got the opportunity to make this video and hoped Adam could do it. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out!"

Of course they're happy with it -- Makarenko makes them look like gods. Zeus may not actually be immortal, quite yet, but give it time -- after all, this is only the first single. Check out the video below.
