Philistine release new music video for ‘Philistine’

PHILISTINE have released a new music video!

The new music video is for the self-titled track from the UK heavy metal band, who originally hail from South Africa, and is taken from their new album Seranim.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the band, vocalist Marq Vas comments, “When Dean and I agreed to put the project together, it was a dream we had, believe it or not, from around 40 years ago. I remember jamming at his mother’s house while we were still in high school. It was a one-off jam, but as the years went by, we both formed our own bands and often jammed on the same bill and became the best of friends offstage. Over the years, we often spoke about doing something together before we were no longer able to, and it finally happened. In essence, the inspiration to birthing Philistine is a lifelong brotherhood and our passion for the same style of music and through the music paying homage to those who play the styles of music we have a passion for.”

Instrumentalist Dean Smith adds, “Our love for Heavy Metal music is what inspired this album. We grew up in an era that produced the best heavy music that stands the test of time, every band unique with an identifiable vocalist, guitarist, and in most cases, a rhythm section too. The way I see it – we were trained by the best.”
