This might be the lowest budget sci-fi music video I've ever seen. Given how serious both the band and the song seem, I don't think the sci-fi stuff is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek. But using a toy rocket with forced perspective and a model of the Earth made out of play dough? It's hard to tell.

 

Like Coheed and Cambria, every Mechina album is a concept album that expands on the scifi story told through the lyrics. They'll also occasionally release 10+ minute "singles" like this song which aren't part of an album.

 

Coheed and Cambria have been making scifi concept albums for years. The lead singer has even released the story as comic books called The Amory Wars.

 

Brendon Small (the guy behind Metalocalypse/Dethklok) had a project called Galaktikon which had a scifi concept story. I don't think Nightmare is the best song from that album but it's the only song with a music video.

 

More Ghostrunner, now with motorcycles!

 

This game is like a cyberpunk version of Paperboy where you throw noodles at customers from your hoverboard. It's pretty strange (and still rough around the edges) but I'm a sucker for cyberpunk video games so I wanted to share.
