PRESS RELEASE:
Russian death metal juggernauts Monastery Dead have unleashed their brand-new music video for “Raptophilia”, taken from their 2024 full-length Ego Sum Dolor. The track delivers the band’s signature blend of traditional death metal brutality and modern technical precision, striking a brutal chord for fans of Bloodbath, Misery Index, and Jungle Rot.
Formed in 2004 by bassist Vadim Nikolaev, Monastery Dead have cemented a formidable reputation on the global extreme metal stage with four full-length albums, multiple singles, and videos, touring across Russia and beyond. They’ve shared stages with legends such as Haemorrhage, Dying Fetus, Debauchery, Benighted, Unleashed, and Impaled Nazarene, proving their live power time and again.
The “Raptophilia” video, directed by Alexander Korsak of Black Line Films, matches the track’s unrelenting ferocity with striking visuals exploring human suffering, existential torment, and self-destruction. Recorded at BuzzyLick Studio with Ivan Dmitriev, and mixed and mastered by Dmitry Kim, this latest visual assault reaffirms Monastery Dead as one of Russian death metal’s most dominant forces.
