BAEST Release "Vortex" Single; Music Video Streaming

Danish death metallers Baest, whose moniker translates to ‘beast’ or ‘brute’ in the band’s native language, have released "Vortex", the second single from their forthcoming debut album Danse Macabre. Set for release on August 17th via Century Media Records, Danse Macabre offers an intense Messe Macabre uniting influences from the likes of Bloodbath, Dismember, Bolt Thrower, Entombed and 90’s Morbid Angel with uttermost savagery.

Baest comments: “Gathered from the whirlwinds of decadence, this is the most aggressive track coming out of the den of Baest so far. The epicentre of the Danse, the embodiment of the seven sins combined, we give you 'Vortex'!”

Directed, filmed and edited by Søren Kahr, the "Vortex" video takes you literally into the den of Baest, as it was actually shot at the group’s rehearsal place perfectly illustrating the song’s savage intensity - enjoy the carnage!

Danse Macabre will be released as 180 gram vinyl plus CD, as jewelcase CD, and on all digital platforms. Apart from regular black vinyl, the following limited colours are available:

- 200x transparent green - BAEST exclusive-
- 100x gold - CMDistro.de exclusive-

Formed in 2015, Baest played over 40 shows within the quintet’s first year of existence, quickly turning heads due to their windmill headbanging skills and ferocious frontman Simon Olsen. Previously, Baest performed at Copenhell, Roskilde, Royal Metal Fest, Eurosonic and supported bands like Hatebreed, Dying Fetus, Entombed A.D. and Illdisposed, in 2018 they will play at Summer Breeze, do a Denmark headlining tour and selected shows supporting Abbath in Germany.
