The legendary Dutch Death Metallers will be releasing their brand new album next Friday so what better way to celebrate than listening to one of their songs this Friday!
“Forerunners Of The Apocalypse“,aside from being a great title is also a ripping song. Taken off the band’s forthcoming record Incoming Death the video was directed by one Maurice Swinkels of Younique Films, who has previously worked with the likes of Exodus as well as Asphyx themselves.
Ever the chatty gent main man Martin Van Drunen elaborates :
“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!”
Look out for our interview with Martin next week alongside the album’s release!
