Following the successful release of their acclaimed tenth album “Intermination” earlier this year, German thrash outfit DEW-SCENTED have returned to showcase a brand new music video for the track “Ruputured Perpetually.” The video, which can be streamed today via DECIBEL MAGAZINE or above, was directed and produced in Germany by Philipp Hirsch (Amon Amarth, Heaven Shall Burn, Triptykon) of Film-M.
Says guitarist Marvin Vriesde, “For the video for ‘Ruptured Perpetually,’ we reached out to Philipp from Film-m. Philipp also directed our first video, 10 years ago, for the song ‘Turn To Ash.’ During the shoot, I painfully remembered how Philipp makes you push the envelope with the performance for the video. It was a long day of shredding and headbanging, but judging by the end result, it was definitely worth it!”
Vriesde further elaborates on the clip’s meaning, stating: “In short, the song is about someone who devotes his life to religion and finds out right before the end that there is no afterlife. It just ends. I love how the video captures the dark atmosphere of the lyrical and musical concept. The devotion towards the light in a world filled with darkness. The riffs in the song symbolize religion. They all are variations based on the main riff in the song. Constantly shifting in perspective and posing a constant threat, building up to a climax and all returning to the uniform beginning at the end. The alpha and the omega, ending in silence. Nothingness.”
Starting in mid-October, DEW-SCENTED will headline the month-long “Thrash Mercenaries” tour across Europe with Spanish thrashers Angelus Apatrida in addition to support from No Return and Heboidophrenie. In conjunction with the upcoming jaunt, DEW-SCENTED will release a new digital single on Oct. 16 titled “Immersed,” featuring two songs — a cover of Vio-lence’s “World In A World” and a re-recording of ‘New Found Pain’ from 2003’s “Impact” — tracked during the band’s “Intermination” recording sessions with Dan Swanö (Opeth, Dark Funeral).
Explains Vriesde, “’World In A World’ was one of my all-time favorite Bay Area thrash songs. Vio-lence was a highly underrated band IMHO (much like Forbidden, I might add), and I always wanted to play that track one day. So when we were throwing around ideas for bonus tracks, it was immediately my number one pick!”
The Gustavo Sazes-designed cover artwork for “Immersed” can be seen below.
