Lille, France-based death metal band Loudblast have filmed a music video for the track ‘Todestrieb’. Directed by Brice Hincker, the clip can be viewed below.
Speaking about the song, frontman Stéphane Buriez said: “It is a bitter take on the cynicism of demagogues and the exploitation of the collective, a devastating uncompromising ‘deathdrive’.”
Loudblast issued eighth full-length studio album Manifesto on November 27th, 2020 through Listenable Records.
Stéphane Buriez commented: “This album has a particular feel for me. The themes refer to the chaos of life as such, to the chaos of society, the darkness of man revealed through his everyday actions. In Manifesto there’s the unhealthy side of our previous album Burial Ground [2014], the atmospheres of Disincarnate [1991], Sublime Dementia [1993] and Cross The Threshold [EP, 1993]… just a real Loudblast album!”
Bassist Frédéric Leclercq added: “While we kept certain elements of Burial Ground, especially in terms of darkness, there was also common goal to go back to the roots of Loudblast. Stylistically, a balance between the brutality of Disincarnate, and the technicity and melodicity of Sublime Dementia.”
Manifesto was produced by HK Krauss and Loudblast mainman Stéphane Buriez at Vamacara Studios in Clisson, France.
Cover artwork was created by Eliran Kantor.
Regarding the artwork, Eliran Kantor said: “Stéphane told me about the album title, and I came up with the idea for the cover late at night while I was trying to fall asleep. I pictured a book that instead of bringing enlightenment (usually portrayed by rays of light), is emanating shadows. A dark cast revealing the evil nature bubbling in black tar beneath those who read it.”
