The USA based Baroque-influenced post-black metallers Mortal Thrall unveiled a new video for “A Path To Fire”, the title track off their forthcoming debut full-length, which will be released on 20 May via Trepanation Recordings.
Thematically set in the last days of the Spanish Inquisition, the album tells the story of one of the final victims - Maria de los Dolores Lopez - murdered by the church for "heresy" and whose story was buried by the Vatican until the early 1990s. Harris felt compelled to pay tribute to her horrendous fate, seeing disturbing parallels in the still-pervading influence and authority of religious power in the modern world which has been a personal point of contention throughout his life as a gay man.
Notes Harris: “When talking to the director Malcolm Pugh about the direction that I wanted the video to take, I was thinking a lot about the videos you’d see from the Peaceville label back in the early ‘90s. Those sort of abstract Gothic metal videos that sort of put you into their world. I feel like that was definitely achieved here while highlighting some of the key points surrounding the track.”
Watch the video for “A Path To Fire” below, and over HERE are more album details. The band will appeal to fans of Blut Aus Nord, Bathory, Liturgy, Katatonia, Kauan and Alcest, as well as post-rock acts like Shiner, Hum and Dead Now. Link
