A synthwave power-up of Gunship featuring the mysterious Carpenter Brut and the singer Gavin Rossdale have come together for DooM Dance.
The anime video is made by by The Angry Metal Company and that name is one of the many easter eggs in it.
Gunship says this is their love letter to the golden age of anime.
Works of incredible animation such as Dominion Tank Police, Cyber City Oedo 808, Akira, Ninja Scroll, Berserk, Ghost In The Shell, Escaflowne and all the others were all pivotal influences on us growing up. If you are not familiar with these titles and enjoyed the vibe and aesthetic in this video we would strongly encourage you to track down these movies / shows and check the real thing out. In our opinion, anime of the 90s significantly influenced a generation of Western directors and artists in a fantastic way. Gunship would not be the way it is without these memorable and thought-provoking works of art.
There are a few more Easter Eggs, too, like Jay and Silent Bob. There’s also Carpenter Brut in their BTurbo Killer persona. Oh, and Doom, of course!
Sean Barrett, Rikiya ‘Gogul’ Gabimaru in Cyber City Oedo 80, is the voice actor for the male role and Stella Le Page the female.
Gunship has done anime before and with Dark All Day, now age-restricted on YouTube, as a gory tribute to Lost Boys.
