Blasphemer release new music video for ‘The Sixth Hour’

BLASPHEMER have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Sixth Hour, is the title track of the Italian extreme metal band’s latest studio album which was released back in January. The new music video was first premiered via Decibel Magazine.

Speaking about the new music video, the band says, “BLASPHEMER is proud to introduce you to the new videoclip of their latest album’s title track The Sixth Hour. This visual assault which has been meticulously crafted by talented artist Chariot of Black Moth (CONVERGE, WOLVES IN THE THRONE ROOM…) to blast the viewer with a relentless black-and-white abyss of sinisterness. The images displayed dive deeply into the most obscure religious manifestations of Southern Italy around the Holy Week and Easter, including macabre processions often climaxing in gore-drenched, self-harming traditions – aiming to emulate and celebrate the suffering of Christ in his path to the crucifixion. Unsettling portraits of Jesus upon Golgotha mix here with these nowadays representation of the passion, since the death of Christ and the grotesqueness of his vulnerability, counterposed to the falsity of his divine nature, encompass the centuries.”
