Dark Fortress: : launch video-clip for "Ylem"

Century Media Records — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 04:17:32 GMT

Finally, the long-awaited video-clip for the title-track of DARK FORTRESS' current album, "Ylem", is released. Witness a dark ritual at www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNloyxCofts The clip was shot in the Dechenhoehle, a natural flowstone cave that offered the perfect set for the story of "Ylem": Morean (vocals): "The title track of our last album is a spell summoning the death of the universe in an accelerated "big crunch". The end of all living matter in the universe is inevitable, and in this invocation the sorcerer is a witness to this inevitable cosmic disaster. The clip is set in an atmosphere of desertion, with no more signs of civilisation, after the exponentially growing sun has scorched away all traces of life. As a last refuge, going underground offers the only shelter that is left, where the protagonist willingly surrenders to destruction and embraces his own end in a vision evoking both the distant past and distant future of our planet." Just as a quick reminder please check out the media reaction to "Ylem" that was released in January of 2010: ".a collection of incredibly inventive black metal songs. .this ominous work is perfect for the long, bleak winter nights." KERRANG (UK) "'Ylem' is such a sinister and diverse opus.every open minded metal head with a soft spot for dark sounds should check this out." METAL HAMMER (D), soundcheck #8 "For quite a while DARK FORTRESS have been among the best German black metal bands and with 'Ylem' they deliver first-class material once again." ROCK HARD (D) LEGACY (D), 15 out of 15 points, soundcheck #2 Visit DARK FORTRESS online: www.myspace.com/darkfortress www.thetruedarkfortress.com

Moreover it is your chance to support drummer Seraph during his final exam. DARK FORTRESS comment: "We will play a unique show - probably the last one for 2010 - on June 14th in De Boerderij in Zoetermeer/The Netherlands. This show will be part of Seraph's final exam at the Conservatory of Rotterdam, thus all your support and help is needed, and will be highly appreciated. We will make this show a very special event, playing songs we've never performed live so far including "Wraith" from our latest album "Ylem". Floor Jansen (ex- After Forever, ReVamp) will join us on lead vocals for the first and only performance of "Wraith" ever! So make sure you won't miss this unique opportunity. Two other projects of Seraph will also be playing this event, namely Sleep Is Wrong (Rock, www.myspace.com/mehothra) and Stephanie Lehmann Project (World Music, www.myspace.com/steffilehmann)." Doors will open at 19.30, and the show will start at 20.00. For only 5EUR you can witness this very special event. Please support Seraph and DARK FORTRESS.
