Auburn Records has contacted BW&BK; with the following update:

Cleveland metallers ALTERNATE REALITY have released a video for their song 'The King That Never Was'. The track will appear on the band's forthcoming EP scheduled for release in 2012. The music video was filmed on location at historic Squire's Castle in Willoughby Hills, Ohio between July and November of 2011. DESTRUCTOR vocalist and guitarist Dave Overkill has a starring role in the video as the character Mordred. Check out the clip at the bottom of the page.

Alternate Reality uniquely features two Cleveland lawyers who are brothers in its ranks, vocalist Steve Delchin and guitarist Bob Delchin. The band also features bassist Jon Engeman and drummer Bob Schwartz, who were both former members of THE MOUTHBREATHERS. Schwartz is the son of Glenn Schwartz (ex-JAMES GANG, PACIFIC GAS & ELECTRIC), one of the greatest living electric guitarists alive today.

"I'm extremely excited to unleash our new music video onto the world", says vocalist Steve Delchin, who plays the role of King Arthur in the video. "It's about the legend of King Arthur and his quest for the Kingdom of Metal."
"The fact that we have two lawyers in the band is definitely unique," says guitarist Bob Delchin, who also hosts the long-running This Is Metal show on Cleveland State University's WCSB radio station. "Our new video certainly has a legal flavor to it. A number of the actors appearing in the video enjoy careers in the legal field as lawyers, paralegals, and secretaries."

Alternate Reality's new video features special guest appearances from members of the Cleveland rock and metal community. In addition to Dave Overkill as Mordred, the video also includes Chris E. (CELLBOUND) as the evil Pagan Warrior, Dan Ullrich (PINCH POINT) as Sir Lancelot and Bill Peters (Auburn Records) as The Wicked Necromancer.

Dave Overkill comments: "This video has it all! Tons of swords, blood, killing, medieval wizardry, and beautiful women clad in warrior gear. Talk about metal! My son, Hunter, even makes a guest appearance as the archer, and he lays a serious hurt on the warrior princesses."

"I had a great time shooting the video back in July", says Auburn Records president Bill Peters, "not the least of which included being escorted to Squire's Castle in a special luxury limo. Everyone thought I was an extra for The Avengers movie when some of the limo photos leaked out, which happened to be filming here in Cleveland at the same time, but in fact I was really going to the secret Alternate Reality video shoot. For anyone who has ever wanted to see me don a wizard outfit and cast magical spells (laughs), this is the video for you!"
"Cleveland has a lot of hidden gems, both location wise and talent wise", adds Chris E. "It was great fun to be part of Alternate Reality's vision. All hail the king!"

'The King That Never Was' video was written, directed and produced by Steve Delchin.

When asked about his decision to shoot the video at Squire's Castle, Steve Delchin comments, "You can't get more metal than Squire's Castle. This may not be the first music video ever shot at Squire's Castle, but it certainly is the first video in which Squire's Castle burns down. Now that's metal!"

Alternate Reality have performed a small handful of shows in the Cleveland area, including an opening stint with LOUDNESS earlier this year. The band's next live performance will be at the third annual WJCU/IronIngo Holiday Benefit Concert, set to take place on December 23 at The Saw Concert Club in Cleveland. The charity event, which benefits the Cleveland Foodbank and Friends of the Cleveland Kennel, is being organized and sponsored by Auburn Records.
