Mad Max Meets Modern Mayhem: Allen Brooks Unleashes the 4K Vertical Video for “Tragically Twisted

Rock ‘n’ roll maverick Allen Brooks is back and he’s detonating the soundscape with his new 4K music video for the single, “Tragically Twisted.” Set against a scorched, post-apocalyptic backdrop, Brooks doesn’t just perform the track – he stalks the screen like a survivor of a sonic fallout. Sporting a defiant blood-red jacket, a black tank, and dust-caked combat boots, his presence is pure cinematic grit, a potent fusion of punkabilly attitude and a midnight rock sermon. It’s Mad Max with a microphone, ready for an encore at the end of the world.

The song itself is a hard-hitting masterpiece, driven by the relentless, six-string wizardry of longtime collaborator and guitarist Keith Maples. Maples’ riffs are the piece’s dirty, soulful heartbeat, slicing through the desolate wasteland like a rusted, electric blade. Against this backdrop, Brooks’ snarling, rebel-saint vocals take command, forging a sound that feels both immediate and steeped in old-school rock ‘n’ roll soul.

Visually, the video is a burning spectacle of “apocalyptic beauty.” It boldly embraces the modern screen with a 9:16 vertical format, yet maintains the cinematic ambition of a full-scale rock opera. Watch a flaming hot rod roar across the blacktop and a majestic owl take flight – powerful images of freedom clawing its way from the ashes. Adding a surreal, dream-like sheen, Brooks – a staunch analog artist – weaves in subtle AI-assisted imagery, creating a space where true analog soul collides with digital distortion.

This visual and sonic conviction is rooted in Brooks’ authentic backstory: a seasoned touring musician, a military veteran, and a NYFA-trained filmmaker. He’s not posing; he’s channeling decades of real-world grit and grind into every frame. “Tragically Twisted” clocks in at just over four minutes, a fierce, stylish, and defiant shout that proves rebellion still has a soundtrack – and that soundtrack belongs to Allen Brooks and Keith Maples.
