RUNESCARRED release new video for their cover of ELTON JOHN'S "Madman Across the Water"
Runescarred unveil a new music video to accompany their first acoustic track from the upcoming release. Runescarred’s 2020 album, The Distant Infinite, is re-releasing with six brand new acoustic tracks on the 24th September 2021.
The band comments: "A few months ago, we assembled at the same studio where we recorded the Acoustrements EP to shoot some performance videos for its tracks. Despite the somber nature of much of the material, we managed to have some laughs on set (behind our masks) and we hope some of that humor shines through in this video. A gang of "Madmen" indeed!"
Originally forming in 2017, the quintet from Austin Texas have made their mark with their evolving discography including the critically acclaimed 2018 E.P., We Are, and single “Being God”. The re-release celebrates Runescarred’s epic album featuring some new, dynamic, musical offerings.
Combining epic, soaring clean and guttural, harsh vocals with powerful instrumentation, Runescarred deliver a dynamic sound. The quintet’s composition draws upon grounded metal attributes but elevates their music through incorporating their distinctive identity. Whether delivering a hard-hitting metal track, or delving into a softer acoustic piece, RUNESCARRED pour utter emotion and storytelling into the heart of their sound. There is even an element of theatricality to their sound that elevates the atmosphere. From ludicrously intense shredding and melodic riffs to ethereal acoustic melodies, their music reaches another level.
RUNESCARRED bring an exhilarating contribution to the world of metal, developing their music through inspired compositional techniques and performances. This re-release with new material celebrates their achievements and provides a glimpse into the band’s continuing evolution.
