On September 13, Denmark’s death metal powerhouse, Baest, will release their second studio album, Venenum, via Century Media Records. Now, the band presents the new single and video, "Vitriol Lament".

Says the band: “Winds of malice and hate, a vortex of cries and anger. ‘Vitriol Lament’ is the opening track of Venenum, and the final single before its release. ‘Vitriol Lament’ marks the descent into Baest's second album, released 13th of September through Century Media Records.”

The video for "Vitriol Lament" was filmed, directed, and edited by Søren Kahr during the band's visit to G! Festival on the Faroe Islands.

Furthermore, Baest have announced a series of in-store events, called (Tor)tour. “We will embark on a record store (Tor)tour on September 12th - 14th throughout Denmark, where we’ll let hell loose in the raw and intimate settings of the local vinyl-shops in Denmark.”
