Ophidian I release new music video for ‘Spiral to Oblivion’

OPHIDIAN I have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Spiral To Oblivion, is taken from the Icelandic technical death metal band’s upcoming new album, Desolate, which is scheduled to be released in July.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band says, Spiral To Oblivion was among the first songs we wrote for the album and has been a band-favourite since its inception. With this song we wanted to make a very death metal oriented song but keep prominent focus on the attributes we were striving for with the album and sound of the band as a whole – memorable melodies and solid structure & composition.

To sustain apt harmonious guidance, the guitar leads and melodies became a centrepiece of this song. As with many other songs on the album the guitar leads serve as the central source of melody and are present throughout the bulk of the song. We feel that we ended up with a full-force, tech-death banger that we can’t wait to play live. Our friend Ásgeir Helgi did a great job on the video; capturing the spirit and essence of OPHIDIAN I.”
