Rahi Rezvani, who also directed the band's singles, "No Harm" and "Ocean of Night" also directed the music video for "Life Is a Fear".[1] The music video features the band in a monochrome room with lasers shining on them driving a car.[2] The music video was released one day prior to the official single release, on 11 August 2015.[3] In describing the music video, Rezvani explained that "I am a black and white person, un-scared of dividing the world in good and bad. When you have a past like mine, you don't have time to think in shades of gray."[1][4]
