American metal group Ashes Of Ares have filmed a music video for the track ‘The Alien’. Directed by David Brodsky (MyGoodEye), the clip can be viewed below.
Vocalist Matt Barlow commented: “‘The Alien’ is a tribute to Earth’s original superhero. It’s the story of our hero’s relationship with his family, and a world that may never fully realize, his strength is matched only by his love of humanity.”
Ashes Of Ares issued second full-length studio album Well Of Souls on November 9th, 2018 through ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records.
Well Of Souls was recorded, mixed and co-produced by Rob Oesterlin, with recording sessions taking place from June to July 2018 The Terrarium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Drumming was handled by former Nevermore / current Ghost Ship Octavius member Van Williams, while Pyramaze / Teramaze / We Are Sentinels personnel Jonah Weingarten contributed a keyboard intro.
