Behind The Scenes: ARV - Victim (Official Video)

Victim is about the society we live in and being squeezed between extremes where power, religion and selfishness reign. Why should we always have to fight against those who are supposed to gather the hordes and stand together for a better existence?

Video: When we set out to create the music video for "Victim," there was no big-budget production team, no professional film crew—just a raw, unfiltered DIY approach fueled by a passion for creativity and a "dare to fail" attitude. From concept to execution, every aspect of the video was handled in-house, proving that with determination and a hands-on approach, we could bring our vision to life on our own terms. The idea behind the "Victim" video was simple: capture the intensity of the song in a visual format that felt real, raw, and immersive. There was no desire for over-polished, high-gloss cinematography. Instead, the focus was on an aesthetic that matched the music—gritty, atmospheric, and honest. The band wanted the visuals to reflect the themes of struggle and defiance embedded in the track.

The video, like everything else on this album, was created entirely by ARV—except for the mix and master, which were handled by the amazing Ruben Willem!

Our goal on this record has been to do things ourselves, not just for the sake of DIY, but to ensure that every detail reflects our vision. By taking full creative control, we can maintain high quality while staying true to our ideas and artistic direction.
