Uppsala, Sweden-based death / sludge metal group Usurpress have filmed a music video for the title track of their latest album Interregnum. Directed by Jimmy Johansson (Super Lino Puro), the clip can be viewed below.
Usurpress issued fourth full-length studio album Interregnum on February 23rd, 2018 through Agonia Records.
The outing can be streamed in its entirety below.
Interregnum was recorded at Dugout Productions in the band’s hometown.
Usurpress commented: “This time we wanted to challenge the establish dogmas and indeed our own predetermined ideas of what makes death metal sound like death metal. We have taken notes from the history of heavy guitar driven music before the times of death metal, in fact; before the times of heavy metal. We have taken inspiration from the hard rock and prog rock movements of the early 70s and put a heavy death twist on it. For those who feel like retching at the sound of this; we can assure you that this is by all means a death metal album and not some silly retro 70-ties throwback five years too late for the trend. It’s simply Usurpress but slower, heavier and way more complex.”
A documentary filmed to promote the album can also be viewed below.
