Altar Of Betelgeuze unveil new video
Finnish stoner death metal horde Altar Of Betelgeuze have revealed a video for the song 'Among the Ruins'. Vocalist Matias Nastolin comments:
"Among the Ruins is the title and final track of the upcoming album. As with the debut full-length earlier, we decided that the album should be finished with the longest and most epic one, once again. This song builds up to a massive and surprisingly groovy riff, which is supported by fierce, yet dynamic vocals. The middle part, on the other hand, gives the song a chance to breath a bit with its interplay between the rhythm section, accompanied by lead guitar harmonies. After the song comes to its conclusion, one can admit that "the devastation can not be undone"!

Serpico release new single and music video
Finnish Hard Rock group Serpico have released a new single and music video for their track "Ain't Better To Leave". The music video reminisces the bygone era when music videos were viewed from VHS tapes recorded on by older relatives that had cable TV, and when heavy rock grew in popularity amongst the youth culture yet was disproved by older generations.
The video was inspired by the band's previous visit to the U.K. Serprico wasn't that organized with their tour planning and found themselves in a strange city without a place to sleep. After several twists and turns they found themselves in the company of local suburban-princesses. They had to sway intimately to Bon Jovi songs in exchange for accommodation, beer and cigarettes. Of course in the video you cant see any swaying to Bon Jovi songs and it doesn't make any reference to that previous story. But it was a trip to be remembered! "
