We’re proud to give you the latest visual installment from Danko Jones; – the official music video to their new single ””I Believed In God””. It’s directed by the Diamond Bros who are also responsible for the band’s four previous videos as well as “Bring On The Mountain” – the much heralded documentary that was released last year.

With the band busy touring, the video plays like a short movie starring Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin) and Jason Trost (featured in the Full of Regret and I Think Bad Thoughts videos and writer / director / star of movies like The FP and Vs) in a love story… of sorts. Check it out here:

The video was shot in Los Angeles and enlisted a production crew worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster with previous credits including Looper, Men In Black, Predator 2 and many more. Directors of photography were Kenny Stoff and Jessica Young who also did Dave Grohl’s Sound City documentary.

For a behind the scenes look on the shoot, check out the clip below:

Check out this exclusive behind the scenes video from the making of the upcoming music video for “I Believed In God”.

After making both the criticly acclaimed  music video triology “Below The Belt” and the documentary “Bring On The Mountain” for Danko the Diamond Brothers will once again get to show us what they’re capable of. And as you can see in the video below, it looks pretty awesome!

The video is set to be released on april 11th
