802 'H.I.T.S.' by Casper Balslev
Promonews - 18th June 2025
A grotesque tableau unfolds between two young women, a car and a rope - blurring the line between allegory and violence - in Casper Balslev's latest video for genre-bending Nordic trio 802.
In contrast to Balslev-directed short films that accompanied the band's previous releases, 1986 Forever and the UK Music Video Award-nominated A Heavy Metal Bedtime Story, the visual for H.I.T.S. is a short sharp shock: an unsettling scenario of stark symbolism, delivered with a cinematic punch, in under two minutes.
The video deepens the song’s core tension: the eternal clash between good and evil - tautly delivered by Balslev's direction, with gritty cinematography by Sebastian Wintherø. And in this story of one woman's determination to dispatch her rival in the most sadistic manner possible, there is an mindboggling final twist.
