German black \/ death metal band Mystic Circle have filmed a music video for their cover rendition of Possessed\u2019s \u2018Death Metal\u2019. Directed by by Christine Lincke, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, Mystic Circle\u2019s Beelzebub said: \u201cPossessed have always been a huge influence for Mystic Circle; not only being the inventors of satanic death metal but also by delivering a scene defining masterpiece like Seven Churches<\/em>. They are one of the top three bands of the genre that have to be honoured the most besides Venom and Deicide in our opinion. In addition, Peter K\u00f6nig added great guest vocals to our interpretation. He\u2019s the singer of German act Gomorrha which also had an undeniable impact on us in our youthhood which makes the whole thing really come full circle for Mystic Circle.<\/p>\n

Mystic Circle issued self-titled eighth full-length studio album on February 4th, 2022 through Atomic Fire Records.<\/p>\n

The album was produced by the band and Nils Lesser at Vaultroom Productions. <\/p>\n

Cover artwork was designed by Rafael Tavares.<\/p>\n

\nA. Blackwar (vocals, guitars, drums and keyboards)<\/p>\n

\u2018Letters From The Devil\u2019 was released in seven-inch black vinyl single format on November 19th, 2021, the single limited to 666 copies. Paired with the track was the non-album B-side \u2018The Godsmasher\u2019.<\/p>\n

Regarding the song, the band stated: \u201cThis song tells the true story of a possessed nun who reportedly received messages from Satan at night back in 1676. Those were of a language that can\u2019t be decoded to this day. Myths like these are always worthy of becoming a song within the Mystic Circle universe, of course. Musically, we kept it diabolical but still infectiously melodic. That diabolicalness has greatly been staged in our new music video. Get seduced…!\u201d<\/p>\n

Music videos were filmed for the tracks \u2018Letters From The Devil\u2019, \u2018Belial Is My Name\u2019 and \u2018Darkness In Flames\u2019. All three clips can also be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Seventh studio record The Bloody Path Of God<\/em> was released in February 2006 via Dockyard 1 Records.<\/p>\n
