The ghoulish immortals that comprise the extreme horror metal outfit known as DAWN OF ASHES (DoA) recently completed shooting the group's first video off their Metal Blade debut, Genocide Chapters, which was just unleashed upon the masses on September 14th.

The video for 'Transformation Within Fictional Mutation' was produced by Robert Kurtzman's (KNB EFX founder, special effects legend, director) Precinct 13, who also handled the special effects, with directing duties wielded by David H. Greathouse (special effects master, film director, and music video director behind MUSHROOMHEAD's videos). The video for 'Transformation Within Fictional Mutation' was shot on October 19th on location at the Bissman Building in Mansfield, Ohio, which is widely rumored to be haunted.

"We shall display the fiercest examples of terror to vex the parasitic mind! Prepare yourselves for a new breed of visual horror!", comments the foul creature and DoA guitarist Volkar Kael.

A behind-the-scenes photo from the video shoot can be viewed at left, with additional shots available on Robert Kurtzman's Creature Corps website located here.

In other news, DoA will be hitting the road this November with Norway's infamous symphonic black metalers DIMMU BORGIR in addition to ENSLAVED and BLOOD RED THRONE on a 32-date run across North America. The Darkness Reborn Tour kicks off on Friday, November 5th in Worcester, Massachusetts and finishes up on Tuesday, December 14th in Quebec City, Canada. Advanced tickets are currently on sale now.
