The song comes from the band's latest album, "Codex Omega," which was released last year through Season Of Mist Records and is the second song to receive the music video treatment after, "Portrait Of A Headless Man," which was also directed by Jon Simvonis. Speaking about the video and it's kendo theme, the band stated:

Once again the clip is directed by Jon Simvonis, blending the music of Septicflesh with Kendo, which literally means 'the way of the sword'. It is a battle of sword and spirit. The ultimate goal of the fighter is to become superior to his own previous self."

Director Jon Simvonis adds: "We really had an awesome time filming Septicflesh while they were delivering an explosive performance for the 'Martyr' video! No wonder, why this band nails it on every stage that they set foot on." More...

Asking Alexandria Respond To Sales Decline Report

The release of Asking Alexandria‘s new self-titled album this past December saw the band move around 22,000 sold units in the United States during its first week. Those sales were down considerably from that of the band’s previous album, “The Black“, which sold 30,000 units during its first week of availability. The band saw their commercial peak during the cycles of Reckless & Relentless and From Death To Destiny. The former moved 31,000 first-week units and debuted at No. 9, and the latter jumped to 41,000 units first-week and saw a No. 5 debut.

A report by Rockfeed.net predicting "... for Asking Alexandria, this may be the beginning of their downslope" caught the eye of the band’s guitarist Ben Bruce, who responded publicly with the following tweets:

So @BrianStormMusic used the term “disappointing first week sales” in regards to our new album, which I find laughable! When compared to bands on our “level” we actually outsold most! We sold thousands more than expected in a rapidly diminishing musical format!
