ADARRAK Release "Bereft" Music Video
Singapore-based Death Metal newcomers ADARRAK have partnered with Spain's Friedhof Magazine in premiering the official video for "Bereft," the first single from forthcoming debut album Ex Oriente Lux. The song features a guitar solo from ex-Megadeth shredder Marty Friedman. Check out the premiere at this location. The video was directed and produced by ADARRAK with camera by Su Pao Shu Donald. Editing and post-production by Aimed & Framed.
On Ex Oriente Lux, ADARRAK showcases a mixture of established (Headcrusher, Norse, The Amenta, Dispiteous, Sol de Sangre, Somnium Nox) and emerging musicians that are both local and global. The album boasts guest appearances by Marty Friedman of Megadeth fame, as well as other local musicians (Üllermach, Boxchild).
The album was mixed and mastered by the one and only Dan Swanö at Unisound Studios. Says Swanö about the forthcoming album: “Adarrak is truly progressive since they are not afraid to implement all kinds of metal into the mix, anything from epic leads to insane blast parts.”
Teaser videos for the songs "Mettle" and "Withering" are available here and here, respectively. ADARRAK will release Ex Oriente Lux May 27 on Satanath Records (physical) and Blood Blast Distribution (digital).
For fans of the extreme yet progressive with a touch of the Gothenburg sound.
