Havok release new music video for ‘Phantom Force’

HAVOK have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Phantom Force, is taken from the Colorado-based thrashers’ upcoming new album V which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Century Media Records. The new music video was directed by K. Hunter Lamar / Digital Myle.

Speaking about the track, lead guitarist Reece Scruggs says, “somewhere in the middle of writing V we all came together and made the decision that we needed a full blown face peeler track. I remember David saying “Reign In Blood tempo”, so I came up with something almost immediately and sent it over to the guys. And aside from some subtle stylistic details it stayed pretty true to that original concept. Phantom Force as a first single will assure our fans and skeptics that we haven’t lost a step in making vicious, straight forward, non-gimmicked heavy metal.”

Guitarist/vocalist David Sanchez adds the following in regards to the lyrics of the track, Phantom Force is about the mysterious deaths that happen during sleep paralysis in the Hmong people. These people fled their war-torn homeland and could not seem to escape a terrifying fate. The goal with this video was to visually represent the fear and panic that people must’ve felt just before their sudden nocturnal demise. Watch at your own risk…”

V is set for release on May 1st via Century Media Records.
