The new music video for HEADleave's latest single, "They Mostly Come At Night...Mostly," is a tribute to the movie ALIENS. This tribute is more than just a passing nod, it goes into the movie's darker parts and really gets to the heart of it. The release shows how much HEADleave was influenced by this classic movie when they were starting, and you can see this throughout the project.
HEADleave doesn't make fun of or take a lighthearted approach to this tribute, instead, he shows respect and want to immerse himself in the ALIENS world fully. The song and video try to recreate the movie's tense mood and rich world, getting people interested and making them feel the same way the movie did, but not exactly. It's about remembering how the movie made people feel when it first came out and feeling those feelings again.
The song showcases HEADleave's unique style by blending different sounds. The music doesn't copy other artists, instead, it is unique and draws on a wide range of influences. The result is a listening experience that is both focused and exploratory, which is what the video is trying to do, build tension.
The video doesn't hit viewers with direct references all the time. Instead, it focuses on timing, mood, and emotional connection. It invites the audience into a world that feels both familiar and new, a world that longtime fans of ALIENS will enjoy not only for the obvious references but also for the overall vibe it creates.
HEADleave, from Würzburg, Germany, shows that a solo artist can build a whole world with genuine care. "They Mostly Come At Night ... Mostly" is more than just a tribute, it's a personal look back at how a story once scared, amazed, and inspired me. HEADleave wants listeners to feel that thrill again with this release, as they sit in the dark, wondering what might be hiding just out of sight.
