Dutch thrash \/ death metal band Thanatos have filmed a music video for the track \u2018The Silent War\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Thanatos issue seventh full-length studio album Violent Death Rituals<\/em> in Europe on March 20th, 2020 through Listenable Records. The label have scheduled North American release for April 3rd.<\/p>\n

Frontman Stephan Geb\u00e9di commented: \u201cWhen Thanatos emerged in the metal scene of the early 80’s, there was a huge \u2018us against the world\u2019 feeling. We were at war with the establishment, despised all forms of organised religion and guess what? We still feel the same after all those years !.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current metal scene has lost a lot of its rough edges. A lot of bands have adopted a polished, plastic sound and a somewhat happy, politically correct attitude. But there are still bands that choose to go against the grain, stir up some controversy and never let go of the \u2018us against the world \/ fuck the mainstream\u2019 attitude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Violent Death Rituals<\/em> was produced by the band, and mixed by Dan Swan\u00f6 at Unisound in \u00d6rebro, Sweden.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by Roberto Toderico.<\/p>\n
