New York based extreme metal legends SUFFOCATION will film a video clip for the track 'Cataclysmic Purification' this Sunday with director David Brodsky (ARSIS, GOD FORBID, KATAKLYSM, SWASHBUCKLE).

When asked about the new track and their soon to be released 6th full-length album Blood Oath, bassist Derek Boyer stated: "’Cataclysmic Purification’ audibly portrays a calamitous future approaching. With this song and the rest of the album I think we've maintained the musical integrity of the band while still having comprehendible brutality. ‘Blood Oath’ combines straight forward crushing movements with unsuspecting twists that will certainly entertain everyone from the avid SUFFOCATION listener to the 1st time innocent bystanders."

Suffocation will release Blood Oath in Europe on July 3rd and in North America on July 14th via Nuclear Blast Records.

The band are now streaming 'Cataclysmic Purification' at their MySpace page.

Blood Oath will be available in three exclusive formats to the North American territory.
