Michael Schenker comments: „Many people in my interviews expressed how much they like this song and I tell them: wait till you see the video. It brings it to a whole other level.

Kadavar - For The Dead Travel Fast

 

Berlin, Germany-based rock overlords KADAVAR have released the official music video for the song ‘The Devil’s Master’, the opening track of the band’s highly anticipated new album, »For The Dead Travel Fast«. The epic western movie styled music video was shot in Fuerteventura and stars actress Lucie Aron as well as the band’s members Lupus, Tiger and Dragon.

Commented the band: Lupus: “Fuerteventura was the perfect set for the idea to shoot a small Spaghetti Western. In the Story, everyone is fighting everyone: there are cutthroats who don‘t trust each other trying to survive in the desert. They are hunted by their enemy, a violent priest who enslaves a young lady, who both of the cowboys admire. In the end, there won‘t be any winners…”

Tiger: “The song is about the worst ideas of the people, the attraction of horror and the seductive scent of the disreputable. Just as it is all too human to feel at the mercy of his fears, so comprehensible it seems to give way to the fascination of evil in the face of death.”

Destruction - Born To Perish

 

Legendary German thrashers DESTRUCTION are proud to unleash their 17th studio record, »Born to Perish«, today via Nuclear Blast. In celebration of the momentous event, the band has premiered a visualizer video for “Inspired by Death”.

Check out the infectious song and accompanying video HERE.

Original guitar slinger Mike states: “Enjoy the exciting fresh wind that the new line up brings into the well oiled wrecking machine! We had a blast doing this album, I hope you have the same enjoyment listening to it now! THRASH hardest!!!“

Vocalist & bassist Schmier adds: “I have the feeling that this is album will be another benchmark in the 35 year turbulent career of the band. The new squad hits hard & we have an amazing chemistry in the band that you can hear on this record!

The visualizer video for INSPIRED BY DEATH stands for itself and does not really need too much of an introduction. The only thing I can say is, that the song maybe has the most oldschool feel on the new album! Inspired by Death – enjoy every breath!”

The 69 Eyes - West End

 

The release of THE 69 EYES‘ phenomenal 30-years-anniversary album is getting closer – on September 13th, Finland’s dark rockers are set to release their 12th offering, »West End«, via Nuclear Blast and have revealed another single today – the sinister rock hymn ‘Black Orchid’!

“This is the most straight forward Gothic Rock song on the album”, explains singer Jyrki 69. “The guy talking in the lyrics is a similar kind of old fashioned adventurer like the guy in white in Sister Of Mercy’s ‘Dominion’ music video. He likes independent women, nightlife and reads E.A. Poe and Hermann Hesse.

The lyric video is done like all the music videos on this album, with Los Angeles-based director Vicente Cordero. It was filmed during THE 69 EYES show at The Regent Theater in LA last May. Wednesday 13, DevilDriver’s Dez Fafara and Faster Pussycat’s Taime Downe can be seen backstage among the other usual suspects.”
