Crest Of Darkness Releases "Welcome The Dead" Video

Norwegian black metal band Crest Of Darkness just released a video for the title track off upcoming album "Welcome The Dead." Directed by Anders Børresen for MONITORmeda, the video for "Welcome the Dead" can be seen below. Commenting on the video, founder and frontman Ingar Amlien had this to say:

"We wanted to make a video that offers a glimpse into the dark world of Crest Of Darkness. Perhaps we are just story tellers recounting a fairytale, and the video can certainly be viewed and enjoyed at that level, but we are also touching on aspects of Life itself and those eternal questions that people ask themselves about life and death and the meaning of it all.

"We might not have all the answers, and in all honesty we don't even want to pretend that we do, but what we do want is to make people think for themselves, and find their own answers. Let's face it, we are all Gods. Each of us builds their own universe, and it just happens that the world of Crest Of Darkness is my universe."

New album "Welcome the Dead" includes a guest appearance by Norwegian actor Espen Reboli Bjerke, known for his extensive work in films, theatre, radio and television. Bjerke, who also won a Spelleman Award, the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammies, performs the spoken part on "Katharsis," the closing track on the album.
