Axwell /\ Ingrosso have released Part 2 of their music video/film series. The new video for the previously released single "Can't Hold Us Down" follows up "On My Way," which introduced the story of Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso as fighters pitted against each other in a rural, beat-down manufacturing town in Romania. Just like a TV show, the video starts off with scenes from the previous video, giving viewers a recap of what happened in "On My Way" before launching right into the second part of the video. "Cant Hold Us Down" kicks off right where "On My Way" ended, as Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso run away from Hedford's angry financial backers, who are unhappy to see that they lost their money and the two had conspired against everyone. A car blows up rather unnecessarily and then a scene inspired by Techno Viking occurs with the burly enforcer taking off his shirt and laying down some awesome dance moves.

Everything is put together just like the infamous 2000 video, even with the water bottle handed to him upside down by his sidekick. Watch the video below.

The video ends with a cliffhanger and more to be continued in the saga of Axwell /\ Ingrosso and their new bareknuckle boxing life.

The video was shot on location in Romania and directed by Christian Larson, director for the two Swedish House Mafia documentaries Leave the World Behind and One.

The single comes from the pair's upcoming debut artist album for either artist, expected at some point later this year on Def Jam. They have not announced when the album would come, but they told Zane Lowe they would like to have the project done before the summer festival season gets underway.
