Delaware/New Jersey sextet I AM HERESY have released their first official music video for the song 'March Of The Black Earth', from their Century Media debut album Thy Will, out March 3rd in Europe/Australia/NZ and March 4th in North America.

Singer Nathan Gray had this to say about the song and video: "’March Of Black Earth’, through symbolism and archetype, stands in defiance of the standard views of "good" and "evil". It speaks of human exploration into a life without fear or reverence for imaginary deities, who are bent on suppressing our most natural desires. If those deities deem a lust for knowledge, freedom of our carnal self, and disobedience to be sinful, then let us become the best sinners we can be!"

He continues: "Each suffering character in the video represents self-sacrifice, killing what is left of our self-expression. The ominous beast in the plague mask represents each character’s individual oppression. Their freedom is personified by the archetype Belial, or Baal, ("without a master") who represents an infernal innocence, freedom, and mockery of self-imposed slavery. Hear the call... Free yourself from the bondage of self-denial, and accept the gift of sin!"

I Am Heresy recently announced their return to European stages with WOLVES LIKE US in April. After a quick run in March of 2013 the upcoming dates will be the first European tour supporting Thy Will.

I Am Heresy are streaming a lyric video for the track 'Rahabh', from Thy Will. Check it out below, along with a first teaser for the album:

Nathan Gray about Thy Will: “A new ethos is born... Come ye daughters and sons of chaos and mystery! We intend to rebuild and create the archetypes of rebellion and revolution against self induced repression. Reveling in anthemic battle songs of lust, pride and indulgence in order to create a ritual purification from the stagnant impotence of servitude and self denial.”

Thy Will was engineered and produced by John Ferrara at Portrait Studios who also engineered and produced the band’s O Day Star, Son Of Dawn EP. The album was mastered by Kevin Mattesky at Phantom Center Media.
