Exclusive: WITHERING SOUL Premier “Hour Of Obstinacy” Video
July 12, 2016, 8 years ago
Adverse Portrait from melodic blackened metallers Withering Soul is out now on Mortal Music. BraveWords has teamed up with the band to premier Withering Soul's newest video, "The Hour Of Obstinacy".
The band comments about the video: “Hour Of Obstinacy is the second and final video track that we decided to cut from Adverse Portrait. From the moment the clean guitar intro starts, there is an eerie and all-encompassing atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the song, but not without some dramatic hooks and transitions to keep things interesting. The video was directed in a way to give the viewer a sense of isolation and the paranoia of being watched. Visually, we borrowed some inspiration from Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow and the Evil Dead movies. Lyrically, it is a lesson about betrayal and retribution in its most primitive form and how one's downfall becomes the inevitable.”
Adverse Portrait, which features guest vocals from Steve Sagala (ex-Enforsaken) on "No Longer Within", was engineered and mixed by Chris Wisco at Belle City Sound, and mastered by Dennis Israel at Clintworks Audio. Cover art is by Pierre-Alain D of 3mmi Design.
