PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
just before the release of their long awaited new studio album ‘Incoming Death’ which is out on 30th September via Century Media Records, Dutch Doom Death Metal division ASPHYX have launched a video for the track ‘Forerunners Of The Apocalypse’.
Directed by Maurice Swinkels / Younique Film (Exodus, Kataklysm, etc.), who already worked on the “Deathhammer” clip by ASPHYX, and featuring conceptual illustrations by Roberto Toderico, you can check out the video and the track below.
ASPHYX vocalist Martin van Drunen checked in with the following comment about the video: ‘Forerunners Of The Apocalypse’ is the first official video from the ‘Incoming Death’ album. Shot on a hot Thursday night at the Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany, where massive credits go out to the crew there. Lots of sweat, beers, laughter and probably the loudest playback session ever in metal! Filmed and edited by the one and only Maurice Swinkels, who probably went deaf after this. A grand cheerz also goes out to Roberto Toderico for the great Mongol warrior drawings! It was the last track written for the album, about genocidal ruler Genghis Khan. Especially about the sacking of Urgench, where 1.2 million were decapitated without mercy. A fucken stampede of a headbanger, so break your necks on this one!”
‘Incoming Death’, once again mixed and mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound, is the follow-up release to 2012’s acclaimed ‘Deathhammer’ album.
