DAVID GILMOUR "Rattle That Lock" release

*THE SYNDICATE DOES NOT EXIST*

In addition to revealing a love for French railway systems, David Gilmour is using his new "Rattle That Lock" single to rep John Milton. Need proof? The Pink Floyd guitarist's animated video for the track follows the fallen narrative ofParadise Lost. 

The black and white clip was prepped by Trunk Animation's Alasdair & Jock, who have fit the track with visuals saluting Milton's vision, as well as those of 19th century illustrator Gustave Dore, and "Rattle That Lock" lyricist Polly Johnson. 

As you'll discover down below, the video switches from the sight of Satan tumbling from the heavens to scenes starring the snarling hounds of hell, among other arcane images. 

"I love animation when it does something that can't be achieved any other way," Gilmour said in a statement. "The film Alasdair & Jock have made for "Rattle That Lock" highlights a darkness in the song that couldn't have been shown any other way." 

You can see the clip below, while Gilmour's Rattle That Lock LP opens up to the public September 18 via Sony Music. He's supporting the set with a North American tour.
