Prepare for a collision of timeless grit and new-age experimentation as rock rebel Allen Brooks unveils the 4K music video for his track, “Tragically Twisted.” The cinematic experience places Brooks as the sole figure of power in a chaotic, post-apocalyptic environment. Clad in a distinctive blood-red jacket, black tank, and combat boots, he’s a man who hasn’t just survived the end of the world – he’s decided to throw a punk-infused party in the rubble. It’s pure rock ’n’ roll, filtered through a gritty, cinematic lens.
The track is a powerful testament to raw energy. Guitarist and longtime collaborator Keith Maples provides the electric backbone, delivering dirty, soulful riffs that are utterly relentless and feel like the very pulse of the piece. Brooks’ snarling vocals, infused with rebel-saint conviction, drive the narrative forward, creating a seamless blend of old-school urgency and new-age experimentation.
Visually, “Tragically Twisted” is a stunning contradiction: a full-scale cinematic rock opera presented in the cutting-edge 9:16 vertical format. The imagery is unforgettable – a flaming hot rod screaming across an endless blacktop, and a majestic owl soaring to freedom, symbolizing hope in the ashes. While Brooks is known for writing and recording his music entirely in an analog environment, for this 2025 release, he has masterfully woven in AI-assisted imagery. This digital distortion gives the piece a surreal, dream-like sheen, forging a bold new path where analog soul meets the future.
This conviction is grounded in Brooks’ multifaceted history – a decorated military veteran, seasoned touring musician, and NYFA-trained filmmaker. Every frame carries the weight of a life lived. At just over four minutes, “Tragically Twisted” is a fiery celebration of survival, freedom, and the unwavering power of rock in an algorithmic age. Allen Brooks and Keith Maples prove that glorious rebellion is alive and well.
