German doom-trap trailblazer Mimi Barks has shared another video from her DEADGIRL mixtape, for the seething ’10.steps.back.’ In keeping with the song’s lyrics – ‘Watch them from a distance and keep the distance / Fighting snakes with snakes’ – the clip finds her surrounded by snakes. The track forms part of DEADGIRL‘s arc of sinking to the bottom, and from there being cleansed and reborn as the person you want to be. “The whole album is a full cycle around the idea of the DEADGIRL,” Mimi explained to Kerrang! on the album’s release. “The first songs are heavier, more aggressive, and kind of filled with delusional aloofness and narcissism, to self-hatred, or hate for the world, but also chaos in my brain. Throughout the album, I’m going through the process of self-growth through spirituality.That whole era of suffering and self-destruction is kind of concluded by reconnecting to my higher self and being content with what I do, and learning to self-love. [The song] SUICIDE is the suicide of my younger self. That leads to the awakening. That is what the whole album is about, to go through the darkness and come out of the other end of it, towards light. It’s literally a journey from self-hating to self-healing.” [via Kerrang!]

March 17 will see ELYSION release Bring Out Your Dead through Massacre Records. Following the previously-released, first album single ‘Crossing Over’, the quintet has shared a music video for the song ‘Raid The Universe’. Says the band: “This song is influenced by one of Christianna’s top favorite movie of all time: Dracula, and we consider this to be one of the rather “alternative” ELYSION songs. The second we heard the first riff, we totally fell in love with it, and Christianna immediately had this idea of travelling through space. What greater proof of love and faith for one than to travel through worlds to join your beloved again! Our first animated video clip represents this concept best, as it features a spaceship travelling through different dimensions.” [via Rock n Load]

On the eve of their highly anticipated new album Dark Waters, metal maestros DELAIN gifted fans one more advance single, unveiling new track ‘Queen Of Shadow‘, together with a hauntingly beautiful official music video. The track merges the orchestral and synth-focused soundscapes DELAIN is known for. It weaves melodic heavy guitars that intertwine with orchestral lines and vocal melodies, marking another powerful example of the fresh new sound that presents the crystal clear voice of frontwoman Diana Leah – shining bright like the early morning sun of a yet untouched day. Supported by Paolo Ribaldini and instrumental expertise, the song displays all aspects and colours of their multifaceted spectrum – ranging from pop, to film score-inspired, to blistering, room shaking metal. Keyboardist, founder, and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt comments, “’Queen of Shadow’ is a classic example of pure DELAIN-style. Musically it has some really awesome things going on such as harmonic guitars and catchy melodies which are complemented by both the alluring and powerhouse vocals of Diana and our guest singer Paolo.” [via Metal Planet Music]

The clip, which was produced by Mirko Witzki of Witzki Visions, can be seen below. Arch Enemy guitarist Michael Amott comments: “I almost can’t believe we’re releasing a seventh (!) video off our recent Deceivers album. Yet here it is, ‘Poisoned Arrow’, a mid-tempo track drenched in melodic guitar work and a somewhat different vibe overall compared to the other singles we’ve had out. The video was shot in Berlin, Germany during a hectic whirlwind schedule with director Mirko Witzki and his talented crew — they even made it snow in the middle of the sweltering German summer heat!” [via Blabbermouth]
