Asphyx Releases "Candiru" Music Video

Dutch doom / death metal division Asphyx continues to promote latest album, "Incoming Death," which was released at the end of September via Century Media Records and nominated as one of our best metal albums of the year.

Asphyx is now launching a new music video for the album's merciless opening track "Candiru." The clip was shot during a recent appearance at Turock Open Air festival in Essen, Germany and was edited by Maurice Swinkels / Younique Film, who most recently worked with Asphyx on the "Forerunners Of The Apocalypse" clip.

Vocalist Martin van Drunen comments: "'Candiru' is a no-nonsense, non-compromising 3 riff containing fast Asphyx death metal track. A gory story about a revolting little fish from the Amazon that can nest itself in human genitals to suck blood after it got there via the urine stream. Only removable through amputation, so be careful there were you relieve yourselves folks! The video was recorded at this year's Turock Open Air in Essen Germany, which we can almost call our second home. The very first time we ever rammed that tune on stage. We had a ball, as always, so hope you do too while watching this."
