AT THE GATES DELIVERS "DEATH AND THE LABYRINTH" VIDEO

Swedish death metal masters At the Gates have released a video for the track "Death And The Labyrinth" (check video below). The clip was directed by Patric Ullaeus of the Revolver Film Company AB (Hammerfall, In Flames, Lacuna Coil). "Death And The Labyrinth" is taken from the band`s new album "At War With Reality", that will be released on October 28th through Century Media Records. The album was recorded at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg and was mixed at Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden with Jens Bogren (Katatonia, Opeth, Paradise Lost). Vocalist Tomas Lindberg has issued the following statement: "We had a very special idea about the kind of approach we wanted for the first video from 'At War With Reality'. What we needed was someone gifted enough to throw himself artistically into the project full on".
"The lyrics to the song are very multi-layered and surreal, so we wanted someone to create a fevered dreamworld that went with the melancholic frustration and dramatic desperation that we feel comes across in the song. This is exactly what Patric has created for us. It's his vision of the music and lyrics, which compliments the track perfectly, in my opinion. I couldn't be happier!"

SODOM RELEASES "SACRED WARPATH" EP

Classic German thrash metal band Sodom will be releasing a new EP, entitled "Sacred Warpath" on November 28th, The EP will be released also in a limited edition of 1000 copies in clear vinyl. The band will be touring along with Kreator and Arch Enemy. Here are some statements by the band and their label Steamhammer Recs:
"Listen up, everybody! Mister Tom Angelripper has important things to say on the subject of the brand-new Sodom EP "Sacred Warpath", on the state of the world and on life in general. He’s really vented his feelings: “Since we’ve been getting the impression that the world is falling apart at the seams, we’ve decided to make our voices head … while there’s still time. ‘Sacred Warpath’ was originally written for our upcoming album, but we feel it’s a good idea to release it now as an appetiser for future Sodom tracks. Because it’s going to get raw, brutal and will be a reflection of all the things that we’re afraid of and that give us nightmares. Pretty much like that hate-filled world we live in. And it’s probably more authentic than any of our releases so far.”

Tom Angelripper on the bonus material of Sodom’s new EP: “The record includes three representative titles which we recorded in Germany this year, and it’s guaranteed to become a rare collectors’ item. The cover will feature a re-paint of an old design from the 80s which I did for a demo cover, painted in oil by Christian Ermel. This may all sound a little old-school, but that’s intentional. That’s what we’ve always been and always will be about. We very much hope to tie over the waiting time until the arrival of our new album. And now listen to my unmistakable demand on this world: turn back on your sacred warpath and find the path of peace before it’s too late. Our music will help you!”
