ASPHYX SHARE VIDEO FOR NEW SONG “THE NAMELESS ELITE” — WATCH

NEW ALBUM NECROCEROS OUT JANUARY 22 VIA CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

FREE RECORD RELEASE LIVESTREAM SHOW SET FOR JANUARY 23

The legendary Dutch death doom elite band ASPHYX will release their tenth full-length studio album Necroceros on January 22, 2021 viaCentury Media Records.

Today, the band has shared the video for the new song “The Nameless Elite.” Watch it here.

 The clip was created by Maurice Swinkels/Younique Film (Legion Of The Damned, Exodus, Kataklysm, + more).

Frontman Martin van Drunen checked in about the song and clip, saying, “This third single of our forthcoming Necroceros album is entitled ‘The Nameless Elite’ and is about modern-day warfare, especially about the brave men and women in the many international elite units that combat any form of terror to protect us all against violent acts of insanity. We thought the location at the Overloon War Museum was a fantastic one to shoot a video for any kind of song dealing about war and the Sherman tank in the clip actually did serve during WWII on the battlefields in that area. It may not be directly related to the content of the track, but Asphyx is a band that has always and will always take on any subject concerning war, without glorifying it. War is Hell.”

He finishes, “We would very much like to thank the wonderful cooperative people of the Overloon War Museum in The Netherlands for giving us permission to shoot there, causing pleasant chaos with our noise and smoke!”

Pre-order the record, which comes in various configurations, here.

Asphyx previously shared the new tracks “Botox Implosion” and  “Knights Templar Stand.” 

Necroceros was recorded at Tom Meier Studio as well as at Paul Baayens’ The Mörserstudio, and then finally mixed/mastered by Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann at Greenman Studios. The album features cover art by Axel Hermann.
