Back in October, we premiered the video for “Ugly” by extreme horror metal unit Wrath of Killenstein, from their dark and heavy EP of the same name (check out our review here), one of our favorite horror music releases of last year. As we eagerly await their upcoming full-length album, the band has offered a little something to hold us over in the form of a new single and video, “St. 7000.”
The track comes with even more sinister cinematic accompaniment than its predecessor, drawing inspiration from occult-themed horror and exploitation flicks from the '60s and '70s (also look for homages to the “spider-walk” and “Captain Howdy” scenes from The Exorcist), which play perfectly into the band's blend of gothic atmosphere, kinky occult theatrics and blistering metal, this time set to an ominous death-waltz beat.
The clip features a guest appearance by artist & model Ave Rose (who also provides the song's backing vocals), and frontman Killenstein plays Satan himself, of course.
“St. 7000” will soon be available on iTunes... but first, watch and listen right here!
