David Keenan unleashes haunting new video for Altar Wine

In this day and age very rarely does a video shock us but today we have been introduced to the brand new haunting  video from Dundalk singer songwriter David Keenan. 

The video is not only haunting but tells the tale of pain and trauma us humans live on a day to day basis.

According to David,

Altar Wine is a film exploring the exorcism and ultimate relief from the pain & trauma we have all endured as a result of our humanness. The ancestral trauma which was passed down to us by our elders, who were themselves victims. Victims of oppression, judgement and abuse. Altar wine is a film about the demonification of the feminine by religious institutions, the abuse of our planet by capitalism and the fear based trauma passed down through parents.’

David Keenan has just released the brand new single and video his track Alter Wine

The sculpting of this visual piece of work demanded that I face, head on all of said traumas and insecurities and repressions that lived in me since childhood. Art heals, that’s why I pursue it. It gives joys, insights and reliefs from the many madnesses that come and go.
It gifts purpose and connection, it reminds me that I am innately connected to the whole should isolation take hold.
I struggled for years in the unknowing of how to accept or express my feminine aspect. As a young man I felt the many stings of sensitivity when greeted with a conditioned societal sense of toxic masculinity which dogged and still dogs rural Ireland and the rest of the world.
