Music Video
The video for "Pinion" was directed by Eric Goode and Serge Becker, who also directed "Help Me I Am In Hell" and was relleased in 1992.
The video was filmed entirely in black-and-white and starts in a restroom. The camera focuses on a toilet containing a dark substnace, typically assumed to be blood. The water and the substance are fushed down as the camera follows. As the viewer is led through the pipes to see where the water is going, the camera cuts between exterior views and interior views of the pipes. As the music crescendoes, the water pressure increases. Finally the camera comes to a white room as water is pumped through a pressurized machine, which is forcing the water into the mouth of a figure that is blindfolded. bound completely in vinyl (or patent leather) and strapped to the wall.
Because of the distubing nature of the video, MTV would only play it late at night before yanking it altogether. However, part of the video's finale became an integral part of the opening sequence for the network's "Alternative Nation."
