Existentialist release new music video for ‘The Zealot’s Demise’

EXISTENTIALIST have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track The Zealot’s Demise, is the brand new single from the Essex-based blackened deathcore band and provides a glimpse into their upcoming new album, The Heretic, which is scheduled to be released in April this year. The new song is the follow-up to the band’s previous single, Embers Upon Cavalry, which also appears on the upcoming album.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “technically, The Zealot’s Demise, is one of our most complex. There are some weird off-beat patterns at times between the kick and hand work, guitars and orchestration. Combined with tempo and time signature changes, it made the track a real challenge, but was an enjoyable writing experience. It’s collectively one of our favorite tracks to play live because it smacks hard and has some savage breakdowns.”

Alongside the release of the new music video, EXISTENTIALIST have announced a short co-headlining UK tour with label mates DRACONIAN REIGN. Speaking about the tour, the band says, “we have scheduled a record release show in our hometown of Colchester at Three Wise Monkeys performing the new album in its entirety. This will be followed by our co-headline UK tour with DRACONIAN REIGN. We are hugely excited for this as it’s been on the cards since we met them and had an absolute blast at Bloodstock. Both of us are releasing our album/EPs this spring, so this will be an amazing opportunity for you all to see us performing our new material on the road for the first time. We have some incredible support bands on each of the dates too, some old friends of ours and some new, so if you want to see what peak UK blackened deathcore looks like, don’t miss out. It will be dark, it will be heavy and it will be epic.”

Tour dates are as follows: 

May 04: London New Cross Inn
May 05: Nottingham Percy Picklebackers
May 06: Rotherham The Bridge Inn
May 07: Norwich B2, Brickmakers
