With their fourth full-length album Massive Incineration due in a month’s time, the Italian death metal band sought to remind everyone of their brutality with the release of their latest single “Bloodtime.” If you like your death metal exceedingly heavy and chock full of blast beats, then you’re in for a treat.

This track is the new album’s second single, with previously revealed “Annihilate The Infernal Army” officially introducing the world to the forthcoming album. The accompanying music video, posted below, was naturally filmed in an abandoned church known as the “Madonna of the vineyards” in Turin, Italy, adding a spooky atmosphere to the undeniably fierce sonic assault.

“The history behind this videoclip is really interesting. We had to find a place to ‘put our apostles of evil and make them dominate the wandering souls’ so we found an abandoned church near Turin, Italy that fit perfectly for it. The legend says that some monks and nuns summoned the devil with dark rituals and black masses for many years. In 1784 the Vatican pope sent an exorcist that managed to defeat the demon and relegate him to one of the church’s crypts. The pontiff then had the abbey closed and the church deconsecrated. It is also said that sacred music was composed, capable of strengthening the seal that imprisoned the demon. However, this score presents a strangeness: it is two-faced. That is, it can be played either normally, reading it from top to bottom and from left to right, or on the contrary, from bottom to top and from right to left. Legend says that if it is played normally, the music will strengthen the seal imprisoning the demon, but if it is played in reverse the demon will be freed.
“Knowing this story, it was particularly exciting to record the parts dressed as apostles, both inside and outside the church. The final result is dark, obscure, gloomy and perfectly describes the contents of the album. At least, the director Maurizio Del Piccolo emphasized everything by making the video chaotic and dynamic, almost bloody.”

Massive Incineration will be released on June 7 via Unique Leader Records, but you can preorder your copy today.
