Music video[]

A music video was produced for the song "Province", released in February 2007. Shot in black and white and directed by Jeff Scheven, it features Cynthia Udriot as a female soldier lip-syncing the song's lyrics. She is repeatedly shot, whereupon characters portrayed by band members Adebimpe and Malone revive her.[2]
